Blind Spot

Blind Spot allows visitors to discover the area on the retina where the optic nerve enters the eye. It's an area where there are no rods or cones; so no image falls on that spot. Ordinarily, the brain fills in the missing information, but through experimentation, visitors can actually find their own blind spots.
