Guitar Hero Acid Vision

Good day all. I'm here to share a phenomena with you I've experienced all over this fine country with different people. Although, I don't think it works for non-hallucinogen users because I ask if they see the same. It works like this. Guitar Hero as you may or may not know is a video game for consoles in which you play a mock guitar to notes on the screen as they scroll down. Now, my friends and I have noticed that after each song when we'd look away from the TV the surroundings would begin to morph and swirl. I think this syndrome is caused by what many say is "concentrating to see visuals". Anyone else try this out? It happens to my friends and I all the time and is actually kind of cool.

It's probably an effect similar to http://www.neave.com/strobe/ ...Caused by looking at the scrolling bar on the screen for a long time, I've experienced it as well when I played it or even looked at the screen when someone else did.

If you think that's nuts, turn Hyperspeed on to 5 and then play a few songs. It compounds the issue quite a bit.
Actually, if you play on hyperspeed for 3 or 4 songs and move the speed back to normal, your brain will compensate and everything will appear to be moving much, much slower. I find it easier to react, myself.

^^Yes, he's right. It's 95% of the process. Other other 5% is some sort of mucking about with an LSD or a mushroom or somethin.

No that happens for everyone, non just "hallucinogen users" as you say. As your eyes focus on the screen moving forward for several minutes at a time, when you look away it takes a moment for your eyes to adjust, and you still have a forward moving morphing effect on whatever you look at. For example:

Yes I know exactly what you're talking about. It's just becuase your brain adjusts to having that thing scrolling down so when you look out on something not moving down it looks moving up and weird
