Abstract
Pessoa et al.'s target article shows that although filling-in of various ki nds does appear to occur in the brain, it is not required in order to furni sh a "bridge locus" where neural events are "isomorphic" to the features of visual consciousness. Some recently uncovered completion phenomena may wel l pig a crucial role in the elaboration of normal visual experience, but ot hers occur too slowly to contribute to normal visual content.
