Blind Man Demonstrates Sixth Sense

Raymond · Blind Man Demonstrates Sixth Sense

A blind man has astounded scientists by flawlessly navigating an obstacle course without the help of a cane.

It is thought to be the best demonstration yet of 'blindsight' - the ability some people have to detect things they cannot see.

Dutch researchers said the study highlighted the importance of the 'evolutionary ancient visual paths' believed to be responsible for blindsight.

Earlier studies had shown a similar ability in blind monkeys.

Bravo

I saw a similar thing with Derren Brown, though mine involves lap dancers so is much better

I do the same thing when I'm pissed up.

Fall over, split my head open, break a bit of furniture on the way, but I don't spill a drop.

Great things those ancient path thingys.
