“Seeing Beyond the Visual Cortex”
Science Nation – March 29, 2012

Tony Ro, a neuroscientist at The City College of New York, is artificially recreating a condition called Blindsight in his lab. With support from the National Science Foundation, Ro is developing a clearer picture of how other parts of the brain, besides the visual cortex, respond to visual stimuli. He says understanding and mapping those alternative pathways might be the key to new rehabilitative therapies.
