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.

    Ha, cool, I came across that cover while I was searching for more information on it, it’s pretty good?

      I’ve read it no less than 15 times, maybe more. I think I’m finally at the stage where I’m not picking up new stuff on rereads. Yeah. It’s wild.

      Read the flyleaf at the library, sounded impossibly corny. Thought it was time for some cheesy science fiction, get off the serious stuff. I was wrong. I was so wrong.

        I’m assuming you’re talking about the Peter Watts book, not the Robin cook book, right?

        I used to read a lot of Robin Cook, and I was ringing a bell, but I’m assuming you’re talking about the Peter Watts blindsight?
