Neuroscientists Explore 'Black Hole' in Human Consciousness and Perception
Neuroscientists have identified a 'black hole' in human consciousness, located in the retina, where visual information disappears. This phenomenon raises questions about how the brain constructs reality. The brain compensates for this gap by filling in missing information, creating a seamless visual experience. Researchers from the University of Glasgow and York University are using this quirk to test theories of consciousness, such as integrated information theory and predictive processing models. These theories explore how the brain interprets sensory input and constructs a coherent model of reality, despite missing data.
