ABC Radio National is at it again, this time with a two-part series involving blindness and the brain. It discusses how blind people visualize their surroundings and features interviews someone blinded by an industrial accident, people who are congenitally blind but still possess something of a visiospacial sketchpad, and those who were blind from birth but had their sight restored through surgery. It’s a fascinating series and at times becomes very personal and emotional during interviews where the subject describes their inner goings-on. Part one is here and part two is here. I give a lot of blogspace to this program, but it is one of the few that consistently surprises me.
