Seems to me that what this indicates is that the information passed into the eyes is slapped into several different parts of the brain, and used in different ways. So, instead of a single image that is altogether processed by our conscious mind, we have different parts of the brain using this information to determine objects to avoid, reactions of other things around us, and so on. And why should this be a surprise? Consider that basic obstacle avoidance is a feature of extremely simple organisms based on very limited input; it seems plausible that this mechanism would remain separate, and a new mechanism would pop up to handle 'details' that did not require an immediate reaction.
Oh, yes, I Am Not A Neurologist, sorry!
