In this talk, Dr McDowell shares her personal and professional experience of tapping into blindsight (an unconscious visual reflex). She describes how through turning the unconscious function into a conscious function, blindsight can be used to improve the visual and overall functioning for people with brain based visual issues.
The key learning points from this presentation, hopefully by the end of the session, you will have an understanding of; what blindsight is, how you can help someone turn the unconscious blindsight into a conscious function and how this process can be used to help improve visual and overall functioning.
