Visual Awareness   Date: March 16, 2009
   Having 20/20 vision means your eyes function properly. But it's your brain that determines how useful your vision really is. New research shows that much of what your eyes see goes completely unnoticed by your brain. Dan Simons is one of the experts in this field of study. The professor from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign recently gave a presentation at Kansas State University. As part of our series, "Kansas Health: A Prescription for Change," Health Reporter Bryan Thompson spoke with Simons about his research into Visual Awareness.
