Filling-in : from perceptual completion to cortical reorganization

Filling-in : from perceptual completion to cortical reorganization / edited by Luiz Pessoa, Peter De Weerd.

The best example of filling-in involves the blind spot, a region of the retina devoid of photoreceptors. While this phenomenon is common in the visual domain, it is argued by contributors to this book that forms of filling-in also take place in other sensory modalities.
