The overall discourse reflects strong interest and moderate agreement with the article, with many examples such as a woman switching personality states to see again and references to electrophysiological evidence. The tone emphasizes curiosity, scientific intrigue, and recognition of the broader implications for understanding brain and perception, which supports the scores for engagement and impact.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions support the idea that psychological factors can influence visual perception, showing agreement with the article's findings.
InterestHigh interest
Many participants express curiosity and fascination, especially with cases where personality states affect sight, indicating high interest.
EngagementHigh engagement
Posts include references to specific studies, physiological mechanisms, and related phenomena, demonstrating deep engagement.
ImpactModerate impact
The discussions highlight the significance of understanding psychogenic blindness and its implications for neuroscience and psychology, though some comments are more illustrative than transformative.
Abstract in brief
The case study discusses a patient with dissociative identity disorder (DID) who experienced prolonged misdiagnosed cortical blindness, but gradually regained sight through psychotherapeutic treatment, with different personality states showing varying levels of vision.
Electrophysiological tests (VEPs) confirmed the presence or absence of visual function depending on the personality state, indicating a rapid switch in visual perception linked to psychological factors rather than physical damage.
The researchers suggest that the psychogenic blindness involves top-down neural modulation, possibly at the level of the thalamus, which suppresses visual processing early in the visual pathway, making it difficult to distinguish from organic blindness through electrophysiological measures.]
@Dudu Que parada interessante. Tem um estudo onde a pessoa tinha visão perfeita, mas um alter era cego, e quando ele estava no controle o EEG mostrava a região da visão “desligada” apesar de não haver qualquer problema físico.

Educational moment - systems that experience disabilities that the body does not typically have are valid!

@TLSclub @M_O_Gwhy @America_Crusade @darwintojesus Here's a cool one. Some psychological state was causing one of the personalities to be blind. The mental personality determined the brain state.

@aniwacked @beachedthingss @Chillaxpeppers @bean_dreaming There’s lots of evidence of it actually. I don’t know what compels you to argue about something you haven’t researched before but read this https://t.co/8Do1HnqQFe
But since there are records of even sight changing in some types of systems from sighted to blind (https://t.co/mBUQyDKHii), HOW do we get an amnesiac system to remember to take them, and how do we record how the hormones effect the system?

@romanmutin (Uf mi ne rimarkis la jaron de la artikolo XD Sed estis reprovita en aliaj. Kaj mi trovis ĉi tiun de 2015 https://t.co/2FDkJrPDP8 Iu "estis blinda" sed tio estis misdiagnozo! Estis "elpsika blindeco" mi pensas, mi ne estas fakulo do pardonu mian tradukon haha.)
