Navigating the World with Impaired Vision: Stories of Resilience and Adaptation In The Mind's Eye, renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks explores the fascinating ways in which the brain perceives and interprets visual information, and the remarkable adaptations that occur when this process is disrupted. Through captivating case studies, Sacks introduces us to individuals who have lost the ability to recognize faces, sense three-dimensional space, read, or even see, yet manage to navigate the world and communicate with others despite these challenges.
