The Strange Way Your Brain Fills in Blind Spots
from That Brain of Yours: The Glitch and the Function · host LightStar
What if part of what you’re seeing right now… isn’t real?It’s not a glitch in your eyes, it’s a feature of your brain.In this episode, we uncover the strange truth about your visual blind spots and how your brain quietly fills them in without asking permission. Even though each eye has a sizable hole in its vision, you never see it, because your visual system seamlessly invents what should be there.You’ll learn why your brain doesn’t passively record reality, how expectations shape what you see, and why vision is more like a best guess than a live feed.Once you understand this, you’ll never look at “seeing” the same way again.🧠 Reality, reconstructed, one blind spot at a time.
