From Medical News Today:
According to a recent UC Irvine study, the brain processes the experience no differently
than if it were noon. The same study also reveals how quickly the brain adapts to

The findings, which appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are
significant for those who have suffered retinal damage or disease, said cognitive
scientist Alyssa Brewer, the lead author.
