Abstract: Abstract Unilateral damage to post-chiasmatic visual pathways or cortical areas results in the loss of vision in the contralateral hemifield, known as hemianopia. Some patients, however, may retain the ability to perform an above chance unconscious detection or discrimination of visual stimuli presented to the blind hemifield, known as “blindsight”. An important finding in blindsight research is that it can often be elicited by moving stimuli. Therefore, in the present study, we wanted to test whether moving stimuli might yield blindsight p...
