How To Find Your Eye's Blind Spot #shorts

Did you know your eye has a natural blind spot? This is completely normal, and caused by our optic nerve.

The nerve is the spot in the back of the eye where all of the nerve fibers form into a bundle, and head to your brain. This spot doesn't have any visual receptor cells, causing a blind spot. We don't notice this because our brain is able to fill in the blank spot in our vision.

Interesting my brain fills in the blue of your shirt and pretends nothing is wrong

[somechannelguy]

When the red dot is gone but his blue shirt is still there

[LadyShiro_Megami]

[GhostieTheML]

Me who can only close my left eye and open my right eye: *sweats nervously*

[TeslaWorkshop]

[chiptrippyfox]

This actually doesn’t seem to work for me

I’ve tried similar experiments before that worked but this one does not

[doctorsmith]

Love this creative way of demonstrating it with the phone Dr Guymon. Way cool!

[OPArk-]

[MakratorianEagle]

Lol I still see the red one but get a little uncomfortable since I placed the phone on my face 😅

[brandonbarnes]

If you do it incredibly slowly, your brain will write in a new circle, you can't actually see it but your brain will hallucinate it, it will usually be yellow

[squishybrick]

"Your eyes have a natural blind spot, to find it, just hold your phone out-"

Well, there's your blind spot, chuck.

[harshiniyellamaty]

it should happen if you close your left eye too and open the right?

[chanamyriam]

so…what are the practical implications here? (btw…❤ your channel)

[beaterz]

Bro I still see it in the corner of my vision and my phone is literally touching the screen

[paigegoble]

It didnt go away for me so do i not have a blind spot????

[mosssybean]

my eye was extremely close to the screen and still saw everything normal

[wingsofcats]

That is so cool! My brain fills in the spot where the red was with your blue shirt and it looks like it was never there 😮
