Michael Emrys Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 This is a case of stimulus satiation, a very interesting phenomenon. It is what causes afterimages to appear in the complementary color of the light or bright object you had been staring at. If I am not mistaken, in the example you present, it occurs in the eye and not in the brain. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
