Actually, it depends on who you're hanging out with as to whether you'll talk about it.

A lot of people just plain don't, figuring that any perceptual distortion has GOT to mean they're nuts.

Interesting phenomena, indeed. I don't know that it has actually been studied or reported on. I don't know that a study could be developed to test it reliably.

I've seen a fair amount of reporting in new age publications on things like auras, and have played with that myself, but it seems to be an area largely untapped by the scientific community (not that I actually consider psychology to be a science, per se. I take the position that it is an ART.)
