A man who was left completely blind by multiple strokes has been able to navigate an obstacle course using only his “sense” of where hazards lie.
The feat is an example of “blindsight”, the ability of some blind people to sense things that they cannot see.
Scientists already knew that the man, known only as TN, reacted to facial expressions that he could not see.
Brain scans showed that he could recognise expressions including fear, anger and joy in other people.
However, he is totally blind and normally walks using a stick to alert himself to objects in his path.
To test the extend of his blindsight, scientists constructed an obstacle course made up of boxes and chairs arranged in a random pattern.
Not only was TN able to safely manoeuvre the course he did not bump into a single box or chair.
Professor Beatrice de Gelder, from the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands, who led the study, said: “This is absolutely the first study of this ability in humans.
The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology.
Author Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist.
His experiments, and that of other leading edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life.
It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.
Dr. Liptonβs profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.
