[stylist] NEW THOUGHT PROVOKER #146- Blindness Makes Your otherSenses Stronger

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     After reading Thought Provoker #146, I did a Google search with the 
terms "remapping visual cortex" (omitting quotes). There have been some 
studies showing that the visual cortexes of blind people are remapped. The 
visual cortex is the part of the brain that processes visual input from the 
eyes. I am not a psychologist but my thought is that there are blind people 
with both  a heightened awareness of their surroundings and enhanced 
sensitivity due to a remapped visual cortex. This will vary depending on the 
onset of blindness.

Regards,

Robert
