Researchers observe an astonishing case of multiple personality: the brutality experienced by this woman in her childhood was so extreme that her brain developed several personalities.

She also went blind:"It was a cortical blindness in which the eye and nerve are intact, but the transmission of information to the visual cortex of the brain is interrupted.

After some time she developed a new personality, but this one could suddenly see while the other personalities were still blind.

This incident allows an insightful look at how the brain can organize different personalities.

That is really scary. It is true that the brain controls the power of perception which to a large degree determines a lot of things. If is also true that a person can become immune or indifferent to pain by conditioning his mind appropriately but I never would have thought it possible that a Multiple personality disorder could have such an extreme physical effect, like seeing when the host is visually impaired. @capport very brilliant insight.
