Magnetophosphene refers to a phenomenon in which phosphene, the perception of light without light actually entering the eye, is induced by a magnetic field. Phosphenes can be produced by various stimuli, including mechanical pressure on the eye, electrical stimulation of the retina, or exposure to certain types of magnetic fields. The concept of magnetophosphene suggests that strong magnetic fields can excite the neural activity in the visual system, leading to the sensation of seeing light patterns or flashes.
