[accessibleimage] Re: study blindsight

Hi Ann,
I agree, It sounds a bit scary to me, but then I don't know much about
such things. 
From what I understand though about blindsight, it seemsit makes one more
argument that shape and color etc  are very important for the visually
impaired, because people pick up things that they are not conscious of. Do
you suppose this is something one can build up?
Unfortunatly I did not go to the conference in England this year so am
hoping everyone on the list who did will tell all about it. Can only talk
from past experience from last time that it was really exciting.
 Looking forward to your announcement. Wonderful about your book. 
Good Holidays.
Best,
Lisa
