Blind Spot (m)

[JynxDaddy]

This has been on my mind all week, I was reading this book health book, and by that I mean laughing at the reproductive organs, when I came across a Blind Spot test thingy.

If this doesnt work, try agian, move slower, put your right eye directly infront of the X.

With your left eye closed, focus on the X and move your head back and forth slowly until the dot is gone. Dont take your focus off the X

Thanks FrieChamp for giving a cheap boy hosting.

Once you get it working:

It goes blank because it goes over your blind spot, which is where your optic nerve connects to your eye, there are no light receptors there

Our brains prevent us from having black dots in our view by covering the blind spot with what ever is around it. Pretty neat!

Note : It also works if you focus on the dot with your right eye closed

[FrieChamp]

Doesn't really work for me, but I have the feeling that the x and the dot move when I try to focus on them with both eyes.

Ist nein nein stackenblochen !!!

Well, I'll try it one more time later...perhaps...

[Guest John Kerry]

i think it has more of a impact if you look at the dot and let the x go in your blind spot

[Thrik]

This particular one isn't working for me but I have seen it in a book before and it worked, so maybe you just need to print it out or something. I do find it hard to focus on the X when close to my monitor - damned bad eyesight.

the whole time i had my hand on my face i had a feeling that jynx was going to run into my room and slap it into my face. so i stopped trying in fear.

Worked for me, in both eyes. It's mostly worked in the past in books as well.

[JynxDaddy]

your res/monitor must be too small for it to work, please try agian enlarge it or something.

[RD]

yes it works. OMG I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!! A BLIND SPOT???

[Ewok]

It works.

Pretty neat, I have done quite a few of these things before. I find even if you just stare at wall or anything in a particular direction or someones face (best effect) for a prolonged period of time with both eyes open without blinking something pretty freaky happens too. Their faces warp, sometimes mouth disapears and everything (omai The_Matrix), and no, it's not just because your eyes are in need of relubrication (blinking). It doesn't take THAT long for the warpy effects to take place, just stare at a concentrated point.
