In the brain, feature recognition and spatial analysis are handled by distinct neural pathways (ventral and dorsal, respectively, also known as the &quot;what&quot; and &quot;where&quot; pathways)[0].<p>Image recognition only emulates the former whose destruction causes a condition called &quot;blindsight&quot;[1]. Affected people lose the subjective sensation of seeing, and can&#x27;t recognize anything, but they are still able to navigate in their environment, avoid new obstacles or put an envelope in a mailbox that&#x27;s  either vertical or horizontal without mistake.<p>0. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Two-streams_hypothesis" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Two-streams_hypothesis</a><p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Blindsight" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Blindsight</a>
