Messing With Your Mind Through Vision

You can have the best vision in the world, and you would still have a blind spot. Likewise, your peripheral vision isn't that great, and your brain fabricates a lot of what it sees to remain consistent with the one thing you're looking at.

It illustrates your blind spot, shows off the parts of your vision that aren't so effective, and reveals how the brain takes shortcuts to believe what it wants to despite what you're actually looking at.
