Hello! This is my first blog post for NaBloPoMo. I am a new blogger and I have a friend doing NaNoWriMo so I thought this would be nice to get me into the swing of blogging often and also to be a bit competitive.

My blog generally consists of me rambling about things, as does my general life. I am quite an opinionated little individual and I tend to have strange things happen to me, as well as good things so I started my blog as an outlet for all the random things that run through my mind.

I have started now NaBloPoMo, and to be honest, I shouldn't have because I have two assignments due in at the beginning of December as well as my dissertation to carry on with and general life things to do.

I am very lucky that I have a ridiculous amount of spare time due to the fact I do nothing but procrastinate all day due to my student status.

All of you reading my blog are about to get a huge insight into my brain and life, for this, I can't apologise as I believe in free will and human choice, sorry loves. I post every day until the month of December, I can do that, I have nothing to do tomorrow so it will be a boring post but oh well.

Today, I was in a lecture discussing consciousness and visual perception. Do you have to be conscious of vision for it to process, according to blindsight not so much. It is incredible, the visual system is not unitary but split, and if vision is impaired by damage of brain area, it can mean that vision can disappear in one side of the brain but they can still 'see'. They are not aware of this. They can detect movement in the 'blind' side (or colours, orientation of lines etc) it's incredible and so strange. Check out this link which includes work by Ramachandran :).
