内视现象

内视现象Entoptic phenomenon)是一种由人眼本身的内部造成的视觉效果。(有时也称为entopic phenomenon ,可能是印刷错误。)

亥姆霍兹话来说:“在合适的条件下,落在眼睛上的光线可能致使我们得以看见眼睛内的某些物体。这些知觉称为“内视”(entoptical)。”

概述

内视影像所投射在视网膜上的影像有其物理基础,这与由视觉系统引起的视错觉不同,视错觉的特点是视知觉似乎与现实不同。内视影像则是由观察者自己眼睛内部的现象引起的,这种影像与视错觉和幻觉有个共同之处,观察者都无法与其他人分享对于这种现象的直接和特定的观点。

亥姆霍兹[1]说明了某些观察者可轻易看见而其他人却完全看不到的内视现象。这种差异不足为奇,因为产生这些影像的眼睛,在具体的层面上对每个人来说都是独一无二的。由于个体之间有所差异,加上两个观察者无法共享一个几乎相同的刺激,所以这些现象与大多数视觉感觉不同,也不同于大多数借由观察共同刺激所产生的视错觉。不过主要的内视现象之间有充足的共性,现在已能令人满意地解释其物理成因。
