Macropsia

/məˈkrɒpsiə/noun
ELI5 mode

Macropsia is a perceptual disorder where objects appear abnormally large and closer than they actually are, often leading to a distorted sense of space. This condition is commonly associated with neurological issues like migraines or temporal lobe epilepsy, and in modern contexts, it can also mimic effects seen in certain psychedelic experiences or virtual reality simulations.
