We can definitely re-learn/reprogram our perception of stimulus, as long as there are other cues to back it up. This has been proven via glasses that alter the orientation of the visual field. After a while the brain adapts, and presents this as normal. I think that once learn your brain can remember this too…

This is even easier with head tracked VR video.
