Consciousness & Space-Time
#20
RE: Consciousness & Space-Time



This looks like a good place to drop this in here.

Wikipedia Wrote:Anton–Babinski syndrome is a rare symptom of brain damage occurring in the occipital lobe. Those who suffer from it are "cortically blind", but affirm, often quite adamantly and in the face of clear evidence of their blindness, that they are capable of seeing. Failing to accept being blind gets dismissed by the sufferer through confabulation. It is named after Gabriel Anton and Joseph Babinski.


Obviously, the Anton-Babinski sufferer is not actually blind, and the doctors are mistaken, because she has "primal knowledge" that she is seeing things.
