Intact Visual Navigation in a Patient with Blindsight

The video shows a patient TN with blindsight due bilateral strokes to his visual cortex. However, when allowed to navigate a hallway filled with impediments, the patient successfully does so without running into them -- demonstrating intact navigation in a patient with blindsight.

The video is from the supplementary of information of the following paper:

de Gelder et al. "Intact navigation skills after bilateral loss of striate cortex." Current Biology, Volume 18, Issue 24, 23 December 2008, Pages R1128-R1129
