Murrell, Stratton C.

Abstract:

The author proposed that the ability to see involved the perception of seeing as much as the parts of the eye functioning. Asserting his claim was a patient of his, Melissa Pierce, who gained the ability see because of a program Dr. Murrell proposed would provide the cure: Living and Learning in a Visual Environment (LIVE). Included were the four foci for the program that may prove the adage “seeing is believing” should be expressed as “believing is seeing.”
