I don't usually have headache migraines but do have strong visual auras from time to time.

Looking at this it first looked fun: "whoa, that's cool, this fovea thing is really smaller than I imagined"

After a minute or so playing around I closed the window and then I noticed a form of retina persistence that looked eerily similar to an onset of a visual aura, as well as some faint but clear ear ringing, both typical symptoms of the migraines I experience.

I immediately walked away from the computer and although dwindling it's still in effect 10min out.

Yes. Occasional migraine sufferer with aura here. Don't look at this unless you want to spend the next 15 minutes worrying "am i getting an aura or not".
