It was a footnote in an article I read about a monkey using blindsight and that there had been several experiments with humans proving blindsight existed and that surprised me. As a footnote.

There have been several experiments that indicate people can see without using their visual cortex.

    I read it earlier this year. Really interesting. Lots of commentary on what it means to have consciousness or intelligence, and on how we’re affected by language and communication. Not sure I’d call it enjoyable though. I’m glad I read it, but I’m not sure I’d put it high on my reread list other than to be able to read the earlier stuff knowing what happens in the later stuff.
