Boy can see without primary visual cortex of brain

From Alice Klein at NewScientist:



But then, as per David Robson at BBC, there’s also blindsight,

Clearly, despite his blindness, Daniel’s healthy eyes were still watching the world and passing the information to his unconscious, which was guiding his behaviour. Publishing a report in 1974, Weiskrantz coined the term “blindsight” to describe this fractured conscious state. “Some were sceptical, of course, but it has held its own and become an accepted phenomenon,” Weiskrantz says today. And over the following decades, the condition has come to answer some fundamental questions about the human mind. More.

Nature, as defined today, cannot be all there is. Science demonstrates that.

    Maybe a state of catatonia is the ideal for the pursuit of science. The new paradigm.

    here’s an interesting report on a most sophisticated information system that we still don’t comprehend well enough [to put it nicely]:

    control systems engineers and computer scientists would be in awe at the sight of such a fascinating system, thinking they are just dreaming.

    but someone out there would assure them that all that is the product of RV+NS+…+T+…?

    It is pretty easy to imagine why they could “see” if one understands how entangled photons “communicate”… if the process of vision is somehow connected to the consciousness, as it should be, then it should be easy to explain…

    People with amputated limbs feel as if the limbs are still there… How could it be if the nervous system was cut off along with the limbs?
