  abstract = {WHEN we view a scene through one eye, we typically do not see the
	scotomas created by the optic disc and the blood vessels overlying
	the retinal surface. Similarly, when a texture field containing a
	hole is steadily viewed in peripheral vision (artificial scotoma),
	the hole appears to fill in with the surrounding texture in a matter
	of seconds, demonstrating that the visual system fills in information
	across regions where no information is available(1-5). Here we show
	that, in monkeys viewing a similar texture field with a hole, the
	responses of extrastriate visual neurons with receptive fields covering
	the hole increase gradually to a level comparable to that elicited
	by the same texture without a hole. The time course of these dynamic
	changes in activity parallels the time course of perceived filling-in
	of the hole by human observers, suggesting that this process mediates
	perceptual filling-in.},
