A blindsighted person has high performance + low awareness, who might have high awareness + low performance?

Technically, schizophrenics.  The problem is they cannot filter out signals.  There is too much hitting their brain, and they cannot decide between signal and noise.\n\nThey are aware of everything around them, and cannot deal with it.  high awareness + low perfomance defined.

I even heard about a professor that walked around for a week wearing goggles that flipped his vision upside down.  He said that it took very little time for him to get used to this and to be able to function normally.

A person is considered legally blind when their visual acuity can not be corrected to better than 20/200 or they have 20 degrees or less (tunnel vision) of visual field remaining. Complete blindness means they have no vision at all.

Usually people with lazy eye (strabismus) ignore (suppress) the eye that isn't pointed where they're looking.  The brain doesn't like to get conflicting information from the two eyes, so if it does, it only pays attention to one.

Depends on severity of condition of course.\n\nBut those who think/speak slowly, can't find the correct word, follow a fast-paced 'deep' conversation with ease, etc... well yes they are most likely aware of their condition. They know they are slower then your average bear - unless of course they are so severely impaired they aren't aware of their environment at all - then obviously that would be a no for them. \nBut in general I'd have to say like the man who stutters - The man or woman with a mental deficiency would be very aware of their difficulty and situation.\nIn short... Yes.  Yes they know they are 'different'.

This is an awesome question.  If someone is born blind they do not have the images that sighted people have.  So what imagery could their minds form?\n\nI am certain that blind people dream.  But what does their mind's eye "see"?

I think people come in both varieties.  I am very much more visual when it comes to memory, but I have known people (mostly musicians, now that I think of it) who were much more audio.  I expect if one or the other faculty is damaged or not present, the other compensates.  It would be interesting to know whether these two styles correlate with handedness, since they probably use different parts of the brain, at least for input if not for storage.

I've read a book on this and if I can find the copy I'll tell you the name of it.  No, a person who has been blind since birth do not actually see but they dream of their auditory senses, smell and touch.  They experience what life has given to them.  \n\nThere has been acutal sight incidences with blind people who where blind since birth in a near death experience.  They said that what they saw was a blinding light, something that they have never experienced in life.

Self awareness is dependent mostly on your frontal lobe, and your sense processing regions.  \n\nNo-one understands qualia, but we do know where it comes from based on brain injuries and defects.

Kyle, if you can figure this one out, you best write a very long book about it. Science has been working on this for a long time. Obviously, the cerebral cortex has something to do with it, but not all. Awareness, specificially self-awareness, is a slippery fish. I will not give you Wikipedia links, you probably already have them.\n\nRather, look up Julian Jaynes and his work on the Bicameral Mind. Early work but interesting. He thought that once upon a time the two halves of our brains were not very interconnected, that we received messages from the right half as mystical experiences, shamanic insight. The books he wrote are incredibly hard to read. \n\nI will see what else I can dig up for you. Great question. The work on this is ongoing.

I believe so. Their eyes are poor and good basically for detecting motion. It is not correct to say they are blind, though.

intersting question; i think a blind person will affect the way they see in their dream.  \n\nFor example, i always dream and i can control what i do.  But if i have a pair of blind eyes, as i said before i can control what i do, i am sure i will not be able to see in colour during a dream.

They don't see, they remember things that the've touched. It's a different form of sensory compared to people who can see. Blind peple depend on touch, so when they dream, they dream things that they can feel and touch. =>

I think that's a very general question. Did you have a specific disability in mind? A quadriplegic might behave and display different characteristics than that of a blind person, for example. It might be a bit helpful to clarify. :-) Hope this helps.
