Blindsight in the blind spot
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (6):762-763 (1998)
| Abstract | The filling-in process proposed as a cover up for the existence of the blind spot has some conceptual similarities to blindsight. The perceptual operation of a hypothetical mechanism responsible for filling in represents a logical paradox. The apparent indeterminacy of the percept in the optic-disc region can be tested experimentally by viewing the grating test pattern below. | |||||||||
