This Zoom course will be recorded. Damage to visual processing areas of the brain (e.g., the primary visual cortex) can cause blindness. Some people with cortical blindness retain residual or degraded vision. This course discusses research on a rare case of cortical blindness – a person with visual cortex damage following a stroke – who experienced a “feeling” or “sensation” of seeing images presented in his blind field. Using several neuroimaging methods, this research highlights the brain mechanisms underlying the “feeling of seeing.” These findings have important implications for understanding the neural mechanisms of conscious vision and secondary visual pathways in the brain, and points to potential opportunities for sight rehabilitation in cortical blindness.
