Negative Afterimage

Description:

A negative afterimage refers to the optical illusion that persists even after the original image is no longer visible. It occurs when the eye continues to perceive an inverted or contrasting image of an object, caused by the prolonged exposure to a bright stimulus. This phenomenon is a result of the physiological processes of the human visual system.

Sample sentences:

• The negative afterimage of the brightly lit signboard continued to linger in her vision as she looked away.
• Staring at the sun without protection eventually produced a negative afterimage of the sun in his field of view.
• After focusing on the green tree, she experienced a negative afterimage of the tree in a reddish hue.
