Sensory augmentation for the blind [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 Enacted theories of consciousness conjecture that perception and cognition arise from an active experience of the regular relations that are tying together the sensory stimulation of different modalities and associated motor actions. Previous experiments

Learning New Sensorimotor Contingencies: Effects of Long-Term Use of Sensory Augmentation on the Brain and Conscious Perception. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Theories of embodied cognition propose that perception is shaped by sensory stimuli and by the actions of the organism. Following sensorimotor contingency theory, the mastery of lawful relations between own behavior and resulting changes in sensory ...

Neuroplastic Reorganization Induced by Sensory Augmentation for Self-Localization During Locomotion [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroergonomics, 2021 Sensory skills can be augmented through training and technological support. This process is underpinned by neural plasticity in the brain. We previously demonstrated that auditory-based sensory augmentation can be used to assist self-localization during ...
