CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The Internet of Things is emerging as a crucial technology in aiding humans and making their lives easier. Among the human population, a large percentage of people suffer from disabilities resulting in challenges in everyday life particularly people with visual disabilities.

6-hour Training in click-based echolocation changes practice in visual impairment professionals
Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2023 Click-based echolocation can support mobility and orientation in people with vision impairments (VI) when used alongside other mobility methods. Only a small number of people with VI use click-based echolocation.

Driving factors for the evolution of species-specific echolocation call design in new world free-tailed bats (molossidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Phylogeny, ecology, and sensorial constraints are thought to be the most important factors influencing echolocation call design in bats. The Molossidae is a diverse bat family with a majority of species restricted to tropical and subtropical regions ...

Functional differences in echolocation call design in an adaptive radiation of bats
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 All organisms have specialized systems to sense their environment. Most bat species use echolocation for navigation and foraging, but which and how ecological factors shaped echolocation call diversity remains unclear for the most diverse clades ...

Echolocation may have real-life advantages for blind people: an analysis of survey data
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Some people can echolocate by making sonar emissions (e.g. mouth-clicks, finger snaps, feet shuffling, humming, cane tapping, etc.) and listening to the returning echoes.

PLoS ONE, 2018 Acoustic communication plays a pivotal role in conspecific recognition in numerous animal taxa. Vocalizations must therefore have discrete acoustic signatures to facilitate intra-specific communication and to avoid misidentification.

People's Ability to Detect Objects Using Click-Based Echolocation: A Direct Comparison between Mouth-Clicks and Clicks Made by a Loudspeaker. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Echolocation is the ability to use reflected sound to obtain information about the spatial environment. Echolocation is an active process that requires both the production of the emission as well as the sensory processing of the resultant sound ...

General isochronous rhythm in echolocation calls and social vocalizations of the bat Saccopteryx bilineata [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Rhythm is an essential component of human speech and music but very little is known about its evolutionary origin and its distribution in animal vocalizations.

Auditory orientation and distance estimation of sighted humans using virtual echolocation with artificial and self-generated sounds [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2022 Active echolocation of sighted humans using predefined synthetic and self-emitted sounds, as habitually used by blind individuals, was investigated. Using virtual acoustics, distance estimation and directional localization of a wall in different rooms ...
