Abstract
This commentary is the next in a chain of events. First, Striemer, Chapman, and Goodale (2009) argued, on the basis of a single case study testing a patient with hemianopia, that the primary visual cortex (V1) is not essential for successful obstacle avoidance behaviour. In the Cortex special issue on the “what and how-pathways”, we ( Ross, Schenk, Billino, MacLeod, & Hesse, 2016 ) examined six patients suffering from hemianopia and came to the conclusion that obstacle avoidance during reaching crucially relies on input from V1. Subsequently, Striemer, Chapman, and Goodale (2017) have claimed that we misunderstood their original report. Clearly it is time that we get to the bottom of these misunderstandings and explore opportunities for finding common ground.
