Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blindsight is a phenomenon in which individuals have no conscious perception of visual stimuli but are still able to discriminate better than would be predicted by chance alone. They may be able to detect motion, direction, and orientation of objects, but cannot consciously see what they are. It is often associated with damage to the visual cortex of the brain. Individuals with blindsight can still detect trichromatic colors and do not have hallucinations within the region of injury. They also do not perceive objects in space that are not present.
