| Research Abstract |
I examined integration process and the neural basis of perceptual completion at the blind spot. The results of experiments showed that perceptual completion of the disc on lower side of the blind spot occurred more frequently than on upper, nasal, or temporal side. The results indicate a lower side superiority in perceptual completion of stimuli presented on one side of the blind spot. Moreover, alpha and gamma waves increased in occipital lobe when a moving line segment arrived on one side of the blind spot.
