Blind Spot
(making meaning - expectation)

Blind Spot allows visitors to discover the area on the retina where the optic nerve enters the eye. Here there are no rods or cones; we are therefore incapable of seeing any image that falls on this spot. Ordinarily, the brain fills in this information, but through experimentation, it is possible for visitors to actually find their own blind spot.
