Sometimes after I've spent a few hours gardening, I'll get little flashes of plants when I close my eyes. I'll see them too as I'm falling asleep; it's very peaceful. When I see generative adversarial network (GAN) art, it strikes me as very similar to these "flashes".
I'm no psychologist, but I wonder if it's related to the fact that I've been essentially running pattern-matching on leaf-shaped inputs. I'd like to know if this effect has been formally studied, as well as whether or not these are technically hallucinations.
