In rare individuals who were born with pattern-vision blindness but later recovered sight, we report a markedly higher temporal variability of oscillatory brain activity during visual processing, which could not be attributed to impaired oscillatory strength. Thus, precisely timed visual processing in the human brain crucially depends on early visual experience. Imprecise timing, cascading through the visual cortical hierarchy, might be a major source of the remaining visual impairments in individuals with reversed congenital blindness.
