Blindsight is the phenomenon in which a person with damage to their visual cortex is able to accurately point to the location of certain moving objects, even though they are unable to consciously see those objects. This suggests that some visual information is being processed unconsciously by other parts of the brain. This is different from inattentional blindness, which is when a person fails to notice an unexpected stimulus because their attention is directed elsewhere, and change blindness, which is when a person fails to detect changes in a visual scene because their attention is not focused on those changes. Selective attention is the ability to focus on one particular stimulus or aspect of the environment while ignoring others.
