This is a normal post here's an interesting phenomenon, and I was able to repeat the experiment on my kids who got the same effect
when I close my eyes but still try to see as if I'm in a dark room , I can often see lights and shapes, like looking at a far off gas nebula through a telescope. Now when I concentrate on the colour green, the colour of it, or my perception of it at least. shifts to green. likewise, yellow, red. Try it yourself, maybe you can do the same.
I can do this in near absolute darkness. My speculation is that most of our nerve and photo receptors give constant feedback even when unstimulated, but our brains filter out all this unimportant data, except when we consciously force ourselves to be aware of it. Like thinking about the feel of your shoe on your foot, or attempting to see with our eyes closed. Our visual cortex attempts to build a picture anyway out of the bad data, and creates representations of swirls and sparks, but being shit data it's highly suggestable to conscious interpretation. Drugs like LSD play with the brains ability to filter out stimuli, which induce hallucigenic effects as it struggles to interpret increased data normally dampened.

This is a normal post there were a few around back before they all went extinct 10,000 or so years ago at coincidently the same time the brothers showed up on the continent
3m tall carnivorous kangaroos that would kick you to death before eating your face off, marsupial lions, etc. In kiwiland there was an eagle big enough to carry a 10 year old child away until the maori arrived and discovered the joy of giant eagle egg omelettes. But sexual trait selection is a big driver of evolution too, and having double cone eyes that are quite good at seeing bioluminescence and colour discrimination makes me wonder if they overlooked this possibility in their short speculation
(, Fri 30 Oct 2020, 12:59, , Reply)
This is a normal post
They report the male and female biofluoresced in the same patterns and intensity, which is less likely if sexual selection was a main evolutionary driver.

My own theory is that the fluorescence only appears in dead animals like the museum specimens they examined (though they address that point in relation to diurnal v New World gliding squirrel specimens kept in the museum). This probably evolved so a now extinct necrophilic predator would leave the non fluorescent living platypuses alone.
