How do blind people learn how to see?

Answer 1

By using all their other senses
and their imagination.

Answer 2

An interesting question... in that "seeing" is a learned trait that must be developed by the brain. We have been able to restore some sight with electronics & brain implants, but only to people that once had sight. The brain learns to interpret inputs from light sensitive impulses & will actually fill in missing parts of a picture that it draws from these impulses. I suspect that longer periods of learning from implants "may" allow those born blind to learn to see.
I suspect we are 10 to 15 yrs away from restoring sight to those born blind or suffering from severe sight trauma.

In addition to sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing, we also have the sense of balance and kinesthesia The sense of balance is maintained by a complex interaction of visual inputs (the proprioceptive sensors which are affected by gravity and stretch sensors found in muscles, skin, and joints), the inner ear vestibular system, and the central nervous system. Disturbances occurring in any part of the balance system, or even within the brain's integration of inputs, can cause the feeling of dizziness or unsteadiness.

Kinesthesia is the precise awareness of muscle and joint movement that allows us to coordinate our muscles when we walk, talk, and use our hands. It is the sense of kinesthesia that enables us to touch the tip of our nose with our eyes closed or to know which part of the body we should scratch when we itch.

Some people experience a phenomenon called synesthesia in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another. For example, the hearing of a sound may result in the sensation of the visualization of a color, or a shape may be sensed as a smell. Synesthesia is hereditary and it is estimated that it occurs in 1 out of 1000 individuals with variations of type and intensity. The most common forms of synesthesia link numbers or letters with colors.
All this help a blind people to see.
