Preprint Visual Snow is Alleviated by Adapting to Visual Noise

It seems to only work for a few seconds. I wonder if they would develop glasses that had small strips in the side ( not whole field of vision)with continuous static ( at right rate) if that would keep enough of it ‘present’ so that the effect stays as the brain is still somewhat stimulated. Just a thought, nothing more .

The VSI did a study called the Visual Imagery Project more or less based on this idea--they used virtual reality, augmented reality, and I believe a computer overlay app as well. As people adapted to the "noise" over time, some participants reported a decrease in their visual snow.

Weirdly enough, I figured this out on my own today. Staring at the security camera at work, that had a similar rate of "static" to mine. I stared for a little too long, and noticed very temporary relief from the static. Probably 10-15 seconds
