ARTexplains Science and History | Environmental Tilt - When Your World Turns Upside Down - The Ways Your Brain Can Break @ARTexplains | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
It is possible to break the part of your brain that lets you see which way is up, rotating your perception of the visual world — allow me to explain! This symptom/condition goes by a variety of names, including visual allesthesia, the room tilt illusion, upside down reversal of seeing, the floor-on-ceiling phenomena, reversal of vision metamorphopsia, and my favorite: tortopia.
