    the brain fills in the gap

    To expand on this, current leading theory (predictive processing) says that brain first generates a visual image then confirms it with inputs and if there’s no input to confirm/deny the halucination it’s just accepted as is. So we can have a whole load of blind spots in all of our sensors and continue functioning rather well with an ocassional artifact.
