Are you saying that it’s the brain being conscious of the geometry of the light processing system? Kind of like the hidden layers of a neural network?
> It turns out that hallucinations comprising spirals, circles, and rays that emanate from the centre correspond to stripes of neural activity in V1 that are inclined at given angles. Lattices like honeycombs or chequer-boards correspond to hexagonal activity patterns in V1.
