11.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW: If you were blindfolded for long enough, you are more likely to see things that aren't there, or visually hallucinate (Merabet et al., 2004), and if you suddenly lost your ability to see, you would probably [with enough time] hallucinate (Ricard, 2009); however, if you were born without the ability to see, or congenitally blind, you may be protected from schizophrenia (hallucinations, delusions) and other psychotic disorders (Morgan et al., 2018), given that no... such cases have been found.
