Peripheral information misinterpretation can be described as the experience of perceiving details within their peripheral vision incorrectly. During this state one may see details within their peripheral vision that are quite elaborate that, after a more direct analysis, turn out to be entirely fabricated. For example, one may momentarily notice fleeting objects, people, or events within their peripheral vision that are not actually present.

This component is greatly enhanced by the often simultaneous experiences of pattern recognition enhancement and external hallucinations. It is most commonly experienced under the influence of deliriants, stimulant psychosis and sleep deprivation.
