Plato's Cave: Blindsight
Blindsight
blindsight is a perceptual deficit whereby patients who are blind are
nevertheless able to grasp moving objects without consciously
perceiving the object. They posess the neural circuitry necessary to
grasp the object, in the absence of the circuitry to represent a full
spatial percept of that object.
