Someone told me that if you keep your gaze fixed and imagine a completely black circle right above someone's head, what you are actually doing is telepathy... so far I haven't researched more about it but I have noticed that some strange things happen when I do that, I see spirals and the vision looks different, could someone confirm what your experience is when doing the same?

Edit: As someone said in the comments, have you ever seen an image in black and white with a red dot in the center what if you keep your stare fixed for a certain time in it and close and open your eyes rapidly you see the image of JesusChrist? Maybe it is realated to the phenomenon in some way.

If someone try it and notice some result please let me know.

The human eye cheats…a lot. It fills in blinds spots with estimates to keep you from confusion. If you’re looking above someone’s head, you’re using one of those blind spots.

There’s also an especially large emphasis on facial recognition hardwired into the amygdala, that we use to quickly identify potential threats.

When you put those two things together, you get some weird stuff. Try this video out. You’ll see how fast your brain will display distorted faces in favor of speed of identification over accuracy.

That's an optical illusion I agree about it, what I'm talking about isn't an optical illusion, it's about the key to access to a 6th sense. It's not about something you look with your eyes it's about something you look with your brain.

If you are in a complete dark room what you see?

The eyes trick it's just the way to make the brain telepathy work.

Or at least it's what I understand of this, you should try it just to find out if it work for you or not.
