Some fraction of history´s prophets, martyrs, and leaders appear to have had temporal lobe epilepsy.” ~ David Eagleman

Your brain, with no information from that particular spot in visual space, fills in with the patterns around it. You’re not perceiving what’s out there. You’re perceiving whatever your brain tells you.” ~ David Eagleman
