Micropsia

The microscopic sizes of objects are perceived by humans as ordinary objects or large objects. This phenomenon is called micropsia. This phenomenon is also known under the names: Bonnet oculological phenomenon, body image visualization (OBE). According to cosmonauts sent on the Vostok and Soyuz spacecraft, this phenomenon was noticed when looking out the window, where massive spheres were visible. Although the effects of micropsa may vary depending on the cause, the main symptoms are as follows:

- the effect occurs with very close perception indicators; - no distortion of real objects occurs; - there is a feeling that the object is becoming much larger in the field of view; - objects do not lose their volume; - there are irrational feelings of fear, uncertainty, anxiety.
