The human body deeper: the brain and nerves, sentence 13

The eye sees, but the brain guesses what it is seeing and can be fooled, as in optical illusions; it even fills in the blind spot where the nerve leaves each eye.

Who acts: eye, brain, nerve · What happens: see, guess, fool, fill, leave · To what, where: blind spot, eye

This is a sentence of the lesson «The human body deeper: the brain and nerves» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (eye, brain, nerve), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
