  2. Afterimage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterimage

    The cause of positive afterimages is not well known, but possibly reflects persisting activity in the brain when the retinal photoreceptor cells continue to send neural impulses to the occipital lobe. [5] A stimulus which elicits a positive image will usually trigger a negative afterimage quickly via the adaptation process.

  3. Palinopsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palinopsia

    A stimulus consistently produces the same afterimage, which is dependent on the stimulus intensity and contrast, the time of fixation, and the retinal adaptation state. Physiological afterimages are usually the complementary color of the original stimulus ( negative afterimage ), while palinoptic afterimages are usually the same color as the ...

    Illusory palinopsia is often worse with high stimulus intensity and contrast ratio in a dark adapted state.Multiple types of illusory palinopsia often co-exist in a patient and occur with other diffuse, persistent illusory symptoms such as halos around objects, dysmetropsia (micropsia, macropsia, pelopsia, or teleopsia), Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, visual snow, and oscillopsia.
