Perceptual filling-in occurs when structures of the visual system interpolate information
across regions of visual space where that information is physically absent. It is a ubiquitous …

“Motion-induced blindness” and “perceptual filing-in” are two phenomena in which
perceptually salient stimuli repeatedly disappear and reappear after prolonged viewing …

After prolonged fixation, a stationary object placed in the peripheral visual field fades and
disappears from our visual awareness, especially at low luminance contrast (the Troxler …

After few seconds, a figure steadily presented in peripheral vision becomes perceptually
filled-in by its background, as if it “disappeared”. We report that directing attention to the …

Consciousness is perhaps one of the greatest mysteries in the universe. This ambitious
book begins with a philosophical approach to consciousness, examining some key …

Visual stimuli fade from awareness under retinal stabilization or careful fixation, a
phenomenon documented by Troxler more than 200 years ago. Research on visual fading …

Previous research has reported that attention to color afterimages speeds up their decay.
However, the inducing stimuli in these studies have been overlapping, thereby implying that …

Our subjective experience of the world as being in full colour across the entire visual field is
at odds with the highly fovea-biased distribution of cones in the retina. It is unclear how this …

Four experiments were performed to investigate how the time required for perceptual filling-
in varies with the position of the target in the visual field. Conventional studies have revealed …

The physiological blind spot, corresponding to the optic disk in the retina, is a relatively large
(6× 8°) area in the visual field that receives no retinal input. However, we rarely notice the …
