A very rare condition distorts perception of faces; features appear stretched or warped, an effect that one man experiencing the phenomenon described as "demonic." But for a woman in the Netherlands, the experience was even more extreme, with human faces transforming into the faces of dragons 🧪🐲

Seriously, it is a thing???? Before I was diagnosed with my brain tumor, I started seeing people I know very well that way, depending on how light falls on them…. But that was laughed off by the neurologists…

Maybe I suffer from that malady. That’s how I see, Bondi, Noem and Leavitt. , Gabbert and Collin’s. Dragons all.

The disorder that warps how a person sees faces is called prosopometamorphopsia, and a 2024 case report described a 58-year-old man who had been seeing these distortions for nearly 3 years. Scientists digitally modeled distorted faces based on his descriptions, with unnerving results 🧪

Can you induce such a condition temporarily? I'd assume many 'bad trips' could be the result of it.
