Question

Gestalt psychology "brain always creates symmetry where none exists". Do you think the brain's ability to achieve symmetry is not unlike its ability to fill-in blind spots?

Answer 1

Each human eye has a blind spot, and the brain sometimes has to fill in what is there by looking at the surrounding area. Light gets into they eye by passing through the pupil. It hits the retina at the back of th eye. The retina is covered with light-sensing proteins. But i do not think symmetry has much to do with it. The symmetric patterns come with our understanding of evaluating them by the brain where as the blind spots are created by the eye as well.
