Some people think that "blindsight" is perception outside conscious awareness. But this is conflating perception with report of perception. They are not the same. If blindsight were outside perception, it would not work at all. Trust in sensation isn't sensation. Individuals with early onset blindness can perceive and report what they experience.They trust their senses and integrate them fully. https://www.ski.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Conscious-visual-abilities-in-a-patient-with-early-bilateral-occipital-damage-Giaschi-Good-2003.pdf
