Information The term banner blindness was brought to the attention of the Web community via the 1998 study "Banner Blindness: Web Searchers Often Miss Obvious Links," by Jan Panero Benway and David M. Lane. It is worth noting that "blindness" is only one of the obstacles encountered by the typical banner. Ad blocking software does not even allow graphical advertisements the opportunity to be actively ignored. Also, some people surf with all graphics off, while others merely disable animations. Even when visitors are able to receive banners, slow ad servers often fail to deliver banners in time to reach potential viewers.

62. Prosopagnosia Research Centers At Harvard University And University College Lond Prosopagnosia, also called face blindness, is an impairment in the recognition of faces. It is often accompanied by other types of recognition impairments http://www.faceblind.org/research/

Prosopagnosia, also called face blindness, is an impairment in the recognition of faces. It is often accompanied by other types of recognition impairments (place recognition, car recognition, facial expression of emotion, etc.) though sometimes it appears to be restricted to facial identity. Not surprisingly, prosopagnosia can create serious social problems. Prosopagnosics often have difficulty recognizing family members, close friends, and even themselves. They often use alternative routes to recognition, but these routes are not as effective as recognition via the face. History Reports of prosopagnosia date back to antiquity, but Bodamer's report (1947) of two individuals was a landmark paper in that he extensively described the symptoms and declared it to be distinct from agnosia. He referred to their condition as prosopagnosia, which he coined by combining the Greek word for face (prosopon) with the medical term for recognition impairment (agnosia). Since that time, more than a hundred case reports have been published. Symptoms of Prosopagnosia Everyone sometimes has trouble recognizing faces, and it is even more common for people to have trouble remembering other people's names. Prosopagnosia is much more severe than these everyday problems that everyone experiences. Prosopagnosics often have difficulty recognizing people that they have encountered many times. In extreme cases, prosopagnosics have trouble recognizing even those people that they spend the most time with such as their spouses and their children.

Sterling was born blind and brain- injured due to a massive cerebral hemorrhaging (stroke) he sustained in utero or at birth. Doctors had told us that cortical blindness pertaining to the cortex area of the brain) is irreversible. Their prognosis was that our son would remain blind and a vegetable for the rest of his life.

Joe Clark recently pointed to SmartColor: Disambiguation Framework for the Colorblind Colour Blindness Simulator which enables you upload images to see how they look to some colour blind users. Wikipedia has an excellent entry on colour blindness , including this excellent description of protanomaly: protanomalous individuals are less sensitive to red light than normal. This means that they are less able to discriminate colors, and they do not see mixed lights as having the same colors as normal observers. They also suffer from a darkening of the red end of the spectrum. This causes reds to reduce in intensity to the point where they can be mistaken for black. But enough of my childhood.

Deaf-Blindness Information Web Page Webmaster Ed Keller Table of Contents: Introduction General Strategies Introduction People who are deaf-blind have problems of communication, mobility and other daily living skills that are unique and make independent living more dificult to achieve. It can be a dark, silent and isolating world. The term "deaf-blind" doesn't necessarily mean total lack of hearing and vision. Some people who are deaf-blind are partially "hearing and visually impaired." They may have enough hearing to understand speech, especially when using a hearing aid, and may have some usable vision with or without corrective lenses. "Legal blindness" is defined as the ability to see at a distance of 20 feet what a normally sighted person can see at 200 feet , or to have peripheral vision that is restricted to 20 degrees or less (like tunnel vision). However deaf-blindness does mean that the combination of impairments of both senses interferes with the ability of a person to function effectively in the "hearing-sighted" world. ( Facts about Deaf-Blindness , Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adult (HKNC).)

69. Cortical Blindness Children with cortical blindness do not exhibit nystagmus, however. (Nystagmus may be the way the nervous system responds to bad vision, since it occurs http://www.tsbvi.edu/Education/anomalies/cortical_blindness.htm

CORTICAL BLINDNESS DESCRIPTION: : A term used to describe an apparent lack of visual functioning, in spite of anatomically and structurally intact eyes. The cause is assumed to be a lack of cortical functioning (i.e., the visual cortex of the brain is non-functionalj. Children with "cortical blindness" do not exhibit nystagmus, however. (Nystagmus may be the way the nervous system responds to bad vision, since it occurs simultaneously with many visual impairments.) Neither a CAT scan nor a VEP can confirm cortical function. In the absence of other abnormalities (e.g., optic atrophy, microcephaly, frequent seizuring), the prognosis is good for regaining some degree of visual functioning in children with "cortical blindness." TREATMENT: Vision stimulation activities of all kinds are appropriate, over a long period of time. However, the potential for improved visual functioning is probably better in the younger child than in the adult. Fibers of the optic tract and their connections (the extrageniculostriate system) may be important in visual recovery, since they are theorized to be 1) important in the maintenance of a stationary optical image on the retina via reflex eye movements; 2) essential for the provision of visual feedback for cerebellar coordination of learned skilled movements; and 3) mediators in visual functioning with the geniculostriate system. IMPLICATIONS: It is currently believed* that the pliability of the young brain may be a factor in this positive prognosis. The recovery pattern is not easily detected by standard ophthalmic tests, since visual behaviors are unique and somewhat unusual (e.g., many children recover the ability to identify single letters of large print when well isolated; most recover the ability to name colors; most can detect moving targets in the peripheral field better than in the central field). Short term evaluations should not determine visual potential, since progress may take time. Dramatic and significant visual recovery can happen over a long term (a decade or more).

Blindness Awareness Imagine that you want to buy a soft drink, but the vending machine doesn't say how much money to put in or what kinds of flavors you can buy! Then imagine that everyone else knows but you. You have three choices: you can ask a stranger to help you buy a soda, you can guess how much money to put in and maybe get something you don't like, or you can just walk away and forget about a soda. For thousands of men, women, and children all around the world, things like grocery shopping and riding public transportation become more challenging because they are blind. Riding a bus and reading a cereal box label may seem pretty simple, but these are examples of challenges blind people face everyday. Braille Putting Braille labels on vending machines is one way of making them accessible to blind people. Braille is a language of raised dots that can be read with the fingertips and it helps blind citizens do everything from choosing food in a grocery store to selecting a floor in an elevator. Harnesses Harnesses allow the blind to be led in difficult public places such as street crossings, stairs, and automatic doors by trained guide dogs. You might notice a dog on a harness in an unusual place-at the grocery store, a restaurant, or a movie theater. The American's With Disabilities Act says that guide dogs for the blind are allowed to go anywhere

Society Management Plant Blindness Eye on Education, October 2003 William Allen Plants fuel life on Earth by tapping the sun's energy. But if plants are the main mediators between the physical and biological worlds, why do most people tend to appreciate animals so much more than plants? In 1998, Wandersee and Schussler introduced the term plant blindness after years of discussion, literature searching, investigation, and "a fair amount of trepidation," says Wandersee. They define plant blindness broadly, including "the inability to see or notice the plants in one's own environment, leading to the inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere and in human affairs." Plant blindness also comprises an "inability to appreciate the aesthetic and unique biological features" of plants and "the misguided, anthropocentric ranking of plants as inferior to animals, leading to the erroneous conclusion that they are unworthy of human consideration." The problem is, if most people don't pay attention to plants and the fundamental role they play in maintaining life, society isn't likely to agree that plant conservation is among humanity's most crucial issues, much less support plant science research and education. All this while, by some estimates, one in eight plant species is threatened with extinction and the (plant-dependent) human population continues to climb.

I don't "see" the ads in Gmail because they are always the same color and always in the same place. How much you are affected by ad blindness in your own advertising efforts may be partially affected by your visitors habits: do your visitors typically read multiple pages per visits, or are you like me, where Google and other search engines drive thousands of people to individual pages? If the latter, you need be less concerned about all your pages carrying the same style ads and more concerned that you don't look like everyone else. In that latter case, you might have better results from choosing an ad layout or position that is less usually seen: your visitor's blindness comes from the rest of the Internet, not from your other pages. However, it's probably best to do different layouts on different pages, or use ad code that can vary ads randomly. I do this heavily at

Usability Interface Accommodating Color Blindness by Paul Hoffman, Cognetics Corporation Reprinted from Usability Interface , Vol 6, No. 2, October 1999 An estimated nine to twelve percent of the male population suffers from some form of color vision deficiency, commonly called "color blindness." It is important for computer interface designers to take into account and eliminate, if possible, any potential confusions that can arise because of color vision deficiencies. Types There are two major types of color blindness. The most prevalent causes are confusion between red and green. This type affects approximately eight to ten percent of the male population. In another type, an additional one to two Percent of men suffer from a deficiency in perceiving blue/yellow differences. Less than one percent of women suffer from any form of color blindness. To understand color blindness better, it is helpful to be familiar with the ways in which colors differ from each other. One standard way to discuss color is to divide it into hue, saturation and brightness (HSB). Hue Hue is the element that distinguishes one color of the rainbow from another. It is the quality that infuses an object with "orangeness" or "redness" or "blueness". In terms of people with color blindness, red and green hues are not differentiated as well as they should be.
