Case: The Patient Blind with Healthy Eyes

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A patient whose eyes and optic nerves are undamaged and who cannot see has damage to the occipital lobe.

Show

Pupils respond normally to light while the patient reports no visual experience at all.

Watch for

The eye is a receptor, not the seat of vision. Sight is lost at the back of the head here.
