It has been said that the blind spot is the weakness to the mind, it could theoretically allow information to be projected in the blind spot at a fast enough rate, that the brain will process it without the consciousness being aware of it..
The blind spot is where the optic nerve physically passes through the back of the optic disc so there are no receptor cells there to see/detect anything.
It's literally a blind spot (which we don't normally perceive because our visual processes 'fill it in') so it wouldn't be able to process anything there either consiously or unconsciously.
