Sensory augmentation to aid training with retinal prostheses

Journal of Neural Engineering, 2020
Abstract Objective. Retinal prosthesis recipients require rehabilitative training to learn the non-intuitive nature of prosthetic ‘phosphene vision’. This study investigated whether the addition of auditory cues, using The vOICe sensory substitution device (SSD), could improve functional ...

Sensory augmented vascular surgery

2011 IEEE 37th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference (NEBEC), 2011
In conventional invasive or minimally invasive surgical procedures involving blood vessels, the surgeon does not receive any real-time indication or feedback of tissue properties when operating on a vessel. In the widely used coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure, the vessel harve and transplantation may result in trauma to the vessel wall and ...

Improving training for sensory augmentation using the science of expertise [PDF]

Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2016
Sensory substitution and augmentation devices (SSADs) allow users to perceive information about their environment that is usually beyond their sensory capabilities. Despite an extensive history, SSADs are arguably not used to their fullest, both as assistive technology for people with sensory impairment or as research tools in the psychology and ...

Sensory Substitution and Augmentation

2018
Sensory substitution and augmentation devices are built to try to replace or enhance one sense by using another sense. For example, in tactile–vision, stimulation of the skin driven by input to a camera is used to replace the ordinary sense of vision that uses our eyes.

THE EFFECT OF AUGMENTED SENSORY FEEDBACK ON THE CONTROL OF SALIVATION

Psychophysiology, 1968
ABSTRACTThis study assessed the effect of enabling a subject to hear himself salivate while trying to increase or decrease his salivary rate. Two groups of ten subjects were instructed to try to increase their salivary rate when a light to the left was lighted and decrease when a light to the right was lighted. Acetic acid was administered periodically

What Is It Like to Be a Rat? Sensory Augmentation Study

2010
The present study examined the human ability to learn a new sensory modality, specifically "whisking". An experimental apparatus containing artificial whiskers, force sensors, position sensors and computer interface was developed. Twelve participants took part in an experiment containing three tasks: pole localization in the radial dimension, roughness

Sensory information for collaborative interaction in augmented environments

CHI '01 extended abstracts on Human factors in computer systems - CHI '01, 2001
To effectively design computer simulations for interactive shared environments, we first need to understand what basic sensory information is required by people collaborating in these environments. Experiments have been proposed to investigate how sensory information is used in the generation of simple collaborative movements in both natural and ...

Sensory Deprivation and Augmentation in the Examination of Enzyme Adaptation

Nature, 1963
THE formation of new enzymes in bacteria was first described by Wortman1 in 1882. Since then the subject has been extensively examined, and is now well recognized. For example, certain strains of Esch. coli do not possess the enzyme β-glucuronidase in detectable amounts.

Exploring sensory augmentation through tactile interfaces

Proceedings of the 2015 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Proceedings of the 2015 ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computers - UbiComp '15, 2015
My research interest explores sensory augmentation through noninvasive sensory substitution techniques. My current work focuses on designing tactile displays to improve learning and physical skill acquisition. In this paper, I will discuss two tactile display projects that explore this space.
