- Visual_looming_syndrome abstract "Looming is a term found in the study of perception, as it relates directly to psychology. Looming refers to the rapid expansion in the size of any given image. As the image becomes increasingly large on the perceiver's retina, i.e., when an object looms, there is an automatic physiological response to perceive the object as an approaching object or surface, instead of one that is stationary or receding. The type of mirage described as looming, in which distant objects appear much nearer than they actually are, is explained in the same way as the image of the ship, except that the image is not inverted; the density variations may also act as a magnifying glass.Visual looming, the expansion of the projection size of an object on the retina, is usually the indication of an approaching object. It is normally perceived as a threat for a possible collision and is sufficient to elicit avoidance and escape behaviors in animals. Also using the same basic principles in robotics have been successful.Visual Looming Syndrome is a neurological and muscular state, where the differences of the eye coordination causes the brain to interpret the incoming information, as a visual looming event (feeling the object is approaching and might hit the eye). Because this condition is muscular in nature, that means everything that affects the eye cooperation to fail, such as being tired, under the influence of narcotics or alcohol, eye pressure or even minor differences in the eyesight (e.g. nearsightedness), may be the cause of an episode. The trigger is usually a narrow or pointy object, which is near enough, or in front of undetermined or busy background, to cause the confusion to happen in the eyes. Some peer to peer studies have indicated, that certain conditions such as nyctalopia or night blindness may worsen the syndrome.There have been hypotheses about Visual Looming Syndrome to be linked with several neural and gastroenterology diseases, such as Celiac disease, epilepsy and migraines. There have not been any empirical medical studies about the syndrome, though the consensus is all these may have affect on the muscular function of the eye, but most likely the Visual Looming Syndrome is a separate symptom. There have been studies of a similar neurological situation. Gabbiani Peron has studied the "looming stimulus selectivity in a collision-detecting neuron". Beverley Regan has studied "Binocular and monocular stimuli for motion in depth". Moors P, Huygelier H, Wagemans J, de-Wit L, van Ee R; "Suppressed visual looming stimuli are not integrated with auditory looming signals"Peer to peer studies have shown many common symptoms, such are "fear of pointy objects hitting the eye", "weird sensation behind the eyes", "difficulty in focusing on objects nearby, which are moving and are not operated by the observer, such as windscreen wipers or a pencil someone else is holding". In these studies Visual Looming Syndrome is often referred as Sharp Edges Eye Syndrome (SEES).Visual Looming Syndrome is not to be confused with Aichmophobia or fear of pointy objects, although Visual Looming Syndrome does trigger the same avoidance behavior as common in phobias.Visual Looming Syndrome shares many of the same symptoms and causes as Computer vision syndrome.".
