Braille: What is it like to read without sight? – BBC REEL

The 53-year-old Londoner Red Szell lost his sight several years ago due to the degenerative eye condition Retinitis pigmentosa – and has used audiobooks ever since. But earlier this year, Szell decided to learn Braille, with unexpected results. In this video Red explores what effect learning to read Braille can have on your brain, and interviews a neuroscientist whose studies have revealed surprising findings.
