Watched a doco about this recently and how the mind fills in something like 60-80% of what we see. It does this on past visonary cues. Very clever. Though it is very easily fooled as was pointed out in the film. In one experiment people saw things that were not even there. Their brain was tricked into filling in the blanks. And these were random folk walking down a street that were asked to look at something. All of them stunned when shown the results.
We also spend around 2 hours a during a waking day blind. Your eyes cannot see when you move them. It only appears you see as your mind is fillings in the blanks as your head moves.
