HPPD

Interesting article on HPPD in wiki.

The scientist in me thinks HPPD is due to a specific flaw in the edge-detection algorithm in the human visual system. Current models of human vision are strongly informed by results in computer science and the use of neural nets for perception. The human brain is an analog computer, but neural nets do a decent job of modeling how that analog processing works. There is a pretty good article on the 6-layer system, and how it relates to the HPPD hypothesis here.

The unrepentant survivor of a misspent youth is merely glad the yellow hexagons have toned themselves down with age and Klonzapem.
