Could they be seeing something from a past life? Or could it be images from a memory they inherited genetically from everyone who came before them? Or is it the creation of a mind still learning to paint a picture in the mind’s eye? We can only speculate on this, as there is no way to know what an eight month old child is seeing.

It is impossible to know if he had some vision as an infant, but he certainly never saw normally and his brain detects no light now</blockquote> Mind's eye is the mental faculty of conceiving imaginary.

Has he been blind from birth? If so, even books and music couldn't assist him in creating art so close to visual reality. Isn't the minds eye dependant on memory to create images that are close to physical reality? Amazing.
