On the subject of perception.. Since I've gotten into astronomy and started fussing over all the possible aberrations in scopes and EPs, I learnt to see chromatic aberration in my own eyes! Streetlights with mercury lamps have a purple halo around them when I look at them with averted vision. I was quite surprised the first time I noticed. Normally the brain would remove/ignore such aberrations.
