| I don't know what possessed me to try, but I've been sitting here | |
| for the last five minutes trying not to see color. I stared at my | |
| Goodreads page (that's what was up at the time) and managed to get | |
| the color to fade away in parts at a time but no luck on the full | |
| color spectrum yet. The reds & greens were doable together, but | |
| the blue is harder. If I focus on just not seeing blue then the | |
| red pops back in. | |
| Please don't ask me to explain what I'm even doing to try this. | |
| The best way I can explain would be to say it's like blurring your | |
| eyes, but they stay focused. Not helpful, right? It's also much | |
| easier to do in the periphery than directly in the center of | |
| vision. I understand we have more cones in the center of vision | |
| than rods, so that's probably why. If I'm doing something to be | |
| selective about that in good ol' brain meats, that would make | |
| sense. | |
| Have you ever tried this? Any luck? |
