In the brain, feature recognition and spatial analysis are handled by distinct neural pathways (ventral and dorsal, respectively, also known as the "what" and "where" pathways)[0].
Image recognition only emulates the former whose destruction causes a condition called "blindsight"[1]. Affected people lose the subjective sensation of seeing, and can't recognize anything, but they are still able to navigate in their environment, avoid new obstacles or put an envelope in a mailbox that's either vertical or horizontal without mistake.
