The Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) has just broadcast a segment devoted to CBS. Featuring on Radio National's All in the Mind program, it is now available to listen to on podcast.
Hear the personal stories of three vision-impaired Australians plus insights into the syndrome from Associate Professor, Chris Plummer, a neurologist at St. Vincent's Hospital in Melbourne.
In promoting the story, the All in the Mind program states:
"Charles Bonnet Syndrome is sometimes called the 'plaything of the brain' for the blind and visually impaired. The syndrome isn't associated with mental illness or dementia, yet people with it are able to 'see' things - like little wriggling children in pink and white pyjamas, or a goat riding on a bike through their lounge room."
