'''Vision''' or 'visual [[perception]]' is the ability to interpret [[information]] from visible [[light]] reaching the eyes. The resulting perception is also known as '''eyesight''', '''sight''' or '''vision'''. The various physiological components involved in vision are referred to collectively as the visual system, and are the focus of much research in [[psychology]], [[cognitive science]], [[neuroscience]] and [[molecular biology]].

[[Entheogen]]s (such as [[peyote]]) have traditionally assisted in the generation of visions among diverse [[culture]]s, as well as in modern western culture. Some could consider visions to be a manifestation of the 'aha' (lightbulb going off) type of learning associated with Picture thinking or Visual Spatial thinking.
