This book was inspired by the case of a woman who could not see despite the
fact that she was not blind. Basically, her brain did not "know" that it could
see. Her blindness was not a matter of the eye not producing the correct
visual input, albeit a matter of turning visual input into conscious
perception.
To explain her case, Goodale and Milner return (in a much more accessible way)
to their theory of two visual systems that work in parallel.
