Question -I normally see my field of vision is fill with noise when I wasn't wearing my glasses in the dark, is it normal? can human eye see noise?
-sometimes I could notice the noise in my vision too...not obvious during the bright or day time....but normally after I took off my glasses...when I look t blank surface or bright surface
Is it normal? normally I won't notice it at all....have been like this since young...
Answer Hi again Rambo.
Yes you can 'see' visual noise from brain activity. Just like entoptic phenomena, it is best seen when there are no other details to attend. Google 'entoptic phenomenon' and read about other interesting things too.
