It constitutes a huge learning task, but is achieved so smoothly, so unconsciously, that its enormous complexity is scarcely realized. But for Virgil, with half a century of forgetting what visual engrams he had constructed, the learning, or relearning, of these transforms required hours of conscious and systematic exploration (Sacks, 1995).” Virgil had not experienced the early sense of perception long before he became blind.
