Typical clumsy MSM reporting. I take this to mean that
the subject's eyes were open and "looking" at the test
articles. No reason to suspect telepathy here.

Sounds like this is not paranorm. It's just a degraded
visual state wherein the person isn't consciously
aware that they still have some residual capability.
If this person can do this, chances are we all can, but
this "blind" visual processing is lost in the noise of
visible imagery in the unimpaired. And if we can all do
it, it's just "undiscovered", and not "para".
this is really an example of sloppy reporting--trying to turn a normal physiological process into something almost paranormal.
he is clearly not completely "blind" in the regular sense of the word. the information is going through his eyes and optic nerve to his brain.
he can't recognize circles and other things, which means a defect in cognitive processing of information.
i would be curious to know what else he can actually see (as opposed to recognize and label).
