Congenital blindness, can you see things in your dreams?

Today is the "International Day for the Blind". Do you think that blind people can’t see in broad daylight and how can they see in their dreams at night? It’s not that simple.

In fact, there are two kinds of blind people: congenital blind and acquired blind.

The first type: the acquired blind, who originally had perfect vision and had seen the world, can still see things in their dreams, although they became blind later.

The second kind: congenital blindness. People usually think that since they have never seen anything since they were born, they certainly have no vision in their dreams.

But in fact, is this really the case?

An experiment to depict dreams

In 2003, a Portuguese scientist claimed that people who were born blind could see images in their dreams. They designed such a set of experiments:

A total of 19 participants, 10 were born blind and 9 were visually sound.

The experiment requires that participants sleep normally at home.

However, there will be four alarm clocks to wake them up at night. After waking up, the participants described their dreams to the tape recorder and then went back to sleep.

The next morning, the sighted people asked to be blindfolded and draw their dreams on paper with other participants.

Here are the results. Can you identify which one was painted by a blind person?

The first hand-drawn dream map

The second hand-painted dream map

The answer is as follows ↓

The first picture is a dream recorded for the blind.

Therefore, Portuguese scientists have come to the conclusion that the description of dreams by the congenital blind and the visually sound is indistinguishable.

The way blind people see the world is not just their eyes.

Does this mean that the congenital blind have vision in their dreams? Not necessarily.

In fact, not only vision can produce images, but also the senses of touch and hearing.

Let’s talk about touch first. In the story of the blind touching the elephant, the blind touching the leg will draw a tree, the blind touching the body will draw a wall, and the blind touching the tail will draw a rope. If you touch the elephant’s whole body, the blind can draw a complete elephant. Just by touching, the brain can also form images and draw them. Scientists have studied congenital blind people and found that their tactile signals will flow into the visual cortex in the brain, thus creating images.

There are also some reports that the congenital blind can produce images by hearing. Like bats, they have the ability of echolocation, and they can hear the general structure of the house only by the echo of high heels stepping on the ground.

Some scientists also believe that blind people can see things in their dreams, which is actually a psychological experience similar to echolocation.

A study on blind people found that:

People who are born blind have no vision, nor do they dream;

People who are blind before the age of 5 will also lose their visual impression;

People who are blind after the age of 7 will always leave visual cognition;

In short, the scientific community still has no clear answer to the previous experimental results. But describing a dream is not necessarily because the blind man opened his eyes in the dream, but also because of his sense of touch and hearing.

Finally, let’s look at a picture of a dream painted by a congenital blind person.

Congenital blind people describe dreams:

The sun, sailboats, seabirds, clouds, coconut trees,

There are two happy people

Blind people have no vision, but this does not prevent them from making an accurate and poetic description of the world. Touch, smell and hearing can also become their "new eyes" to see the world.

Apple M4 Chip Details: Performance Soars Beyond M Series Predecessors

Recently, Apple officially released the much-anticipated M4 chip, which has achieved a leap in performance.It surpasses its predecessors M3 and M2 in an all-round way, and at the same time, it maintains significant performance advantages for M3 Pro and Snapdragon X Elite.

M4 chip can achieve such a huge leap in performance, not only because Apple adopted TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, but more importantly, it adopted a brand-new ARMv9 architecture.

The introduction of this architecture enables M4 to run complex workloads more effectively, which brings higher single-core and multi-core performance gains.

Apple M4 Chip Details: Performance Soars Beyond M Series Predecessors

According to Geekbench 6 benchmark test results, the single-core and multi-core performance of M4 chip has reached a new high. The achievement of this achievement,It not only benefits from the frequency increase of M4 chip and the increase of core number, but also benefits from the introduction of ARMv9 architecture and the support of SME (Extensible Matrix Extension).

SME technology is an important feature of ARMv9 architecture, which can help the processor to handle complex data operations and matrix calculations more efficiently. In the test of Geekbench 6, with the support of SME technology, M4 chip has made significant improvement in both single-core and multi-core performance.

Apple M4 Chip Details: Performance Soars Beyond M Series Predecessors

Compared with M2 chip, M4 improves the single-core performance by about 48%, and the multi-core performance by about 52%. This performance improvement is large enough to make M4 stand out in the current mobile processor market.

It is worth noting that although Apple didn’t mention that M4 adopted the ARMv9 architecture at the press conference, this fact has been widely recognized by the industry. The introduction of ARMv9 architecture not only improves the performance, but also brings higher security and energy efficiency ratio.

At the same time, there are rumors that the upcoming A18 Pro will also adopt the ARMv9 architecture and support SME technology.This will make A18 Pro comparable to M4 in performance and become a strong competitor of Apple’s new generation flagship processor.

Although more details about M4 chip have not been announced yet, its outstanding performance has attracted wide attention in the industry.

We look forward to seeing more reports on the application and performance of M4 chips in the future, and we also expect Apple to continue to introduce more high-performance and low-power processor products, which will bring users a better experience.

People’s Daily Overseas Edition: The falsification of entertainment data should be stopped as much as possible.

In the name of people.

According to media reports, a few days ago, Li Xuezheng, the general publisher and producer of the TV series in the name of people, revealed that before the show aired, some people suggested that they should buy data. They fought back resolutely. He also pointed out the phenomenon of data fraud of young stars: "If his annual income is 100 million yuan, he may spend 60 million yuan for false propaganda!" Now many stars have tens of millions of fans, but Li Xuezheng pointed out: "I can boldly say that none of the tens of millions are true." Li Xuezheng believes that some people use relatively large capital to influence the water army and public opinion, and "often can influence some ideas of key people in the acquisition platform". He said, "The cultural fraud under capital has become an important obstacle and enemy of our cultural self-confidence in China".


As Li Xuezheng pointed out, in recent years, news such as ratings fraud and actor popularity data fraud are not uncommon. As the hottest TV series in 2017, and as a legal work of fighting corruption and promoting honesty, "in the name of people" has received such great resistance, and the situation faced by other dramas can be imagined.


Over the past 30 years, on the one hand, China TV plays have created their own glory and dreams, on the other hand, their broadcasting environment is increasingly worrying. Not only Li Xuezheng, but many people in the industry have pointed out that even works with profound thoughts, excellent production and exquisite art must pay high prices to buy fake ratings data. High ratings, whether true or false, can get high returns and high praise, otherwise it will be a complete failure. The audience rating survey was originally designed for advertisers to put advertisements on TV stations, not the evaluation standard of TV programs, which is also an international common rule. Many years ago, some TV stations began to fake ratings in order to win advertising resources; After that, it became more and more fierce. When TV series became the main program of all TV channels in prime time, the production organization had to increase the cost of purchasing ratings by tens of millions of yuan per drama, which in turn led to a vicious circle.


Li Xuezheng said that at present, data fraud has reached the point of fear in the industry, because there is a large space for fraud and the consequences of fraud are too little. In fact, in the case of highly developed modern technology, the problem of ratings fraud is not unsolvable. For example, detect the fraudulent means and criminal details of buyers and sellers by advanced technical means, and eliminate the cancer of viewing fraud within the existing legal framework; For example, research and deployment can effectively reduce data fraud by stopping the use of ratings based on a small number of sample surveys and using all-user big data returned by set-top boxes.


Entertainment fraud has obviously deteriorated the development ecology of the industry and cast a shadow over the sustained and healthy development of culture. In order to create a healthy, safe and clear new environment conducive to the spread of excellent works and the benign development of the industry, the problem of entertainment fraud needs to be effectively stopped.
