Esref Armagan, blind painter. He has been blind all his life. Yet his paintings are realistic. Neural scans indicate that when he is painting, his visual cortex is stimulated as much as it is for normal people when they see objects.
Seeing without seeing
I found the story of Esref Armagan, a painter blind from birth who creates realistic art. Neural scans show his visual cortex activates while painting, suggesting that spatial perspective might be hard-coded into the human brain.
