Have a look at for instance

   M. M. Garde and A. Cowey, "Deaf hearing": Unacknowledged
   detection of auditory stimuli in a patient with cerebral
   deafness, Cortex, Vol 36, pp. 71-80, 2000. PDF online at

   http://www.masson.it/cortex/pdf/vol36/issue1/071-080.pdf

   (presented also earlier at the Tucson 1998 conference on
    consciousness)

BTW, although a bit off-topic: blindsight expert Petra
Stoerig will soon be telling about her work with The vOICe
on German radio (WDR 5, Leonardo). So stay tuned...

Best regards,

Peter Meijer
