Tactile-Sight: A Sensory Substitution Device Based on Distance-Related Vibrotactile Flow [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
Sensory substitution is a research field of increasing interest with regard to technical, applied and theoretical issues. Among the latter, it is of central interest to understand the form in which humans perceive the environment.

Developmental Aspects of Sensory Substitution

International Journal of Neuroscience, 1983
Research involving the provision of an artificial intersensory substitute--the SonicguideTM--is reported. Subjects were congenitally blind infants and young children. In a search task requiring distally appropriate responses, results indicated that younger subjects showed a more rapid sensitivity to the spatial information provided by the device.

COGNITIVE AND BRAIN MECHANISMS IN SENSORY SUBSTITUTION OF VISION: A CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF HUMAN PERCEPTION

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2005
Sensory substitution refers to the use of one sense to pick up information normally gathered by another sensory organ. With recent technological advances and scientific progress, sensory substitution appears as an interesting alternative for restoring ...

Sensory Substitution is Substitution

Mind & Language, 2015
AbstractSensory substitution devices (SSDs) make use of one substituting modality (e.g. touch) to get access to environmental information normally accessed through another modality (e.g. vision). Based on behavioural and neuroimaging data, some authors have claimed that using a vision‐substituting device results in visual perception.

SENSORY SUBSTITUTION FOR FORCE FEEDBACK IN TELEOPERATION

Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, 1992
The objective of this research was to study the capabilities of sensory substitution for force feedback through the tactile and auditory senses for teleoperation tasks, with and without time delay. The motivation and potential benefits of sensory substitution for force feedback with vibrotactile and auditory displays are discussed.

Wearable System for Sensory Substitution for Prosthetics

2018 New Generation of CAS (NGCAS), 2018
This paper presents a wearable system prototype based on commercial off-the-shelf components for sensory substitution for prosthetics. It provides a wireless portable interface electronics for tactile sensor array. The system transmits the acquired tactile information to the prosthetic user through Electrotactile stimulation.

Tactile Sensory Substitution Studies

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004
Abstract: Forty years ago a project to explore late brain plasticity was initiated that was to lead into a broad area of sensory substitution studies. The questions at that time were: Can a person who has never seen learn to see as an adult? Is the brain sufficiently plastic to develop an entirely new sensory system? The short answer to both questions

Synthetic synaesthesia and sensory substitution

Consciousness and Cognition, 2010
Visual information can be provided to blind users through sensory substitution devices that convert images into sound. Through extensive use to develop expertise, some blind users have reported visual experiences when using such a device. These blind expert users have also reported visual phenomenology to other sounds even when not using the device ...

Sensory Substitution and the Design of an Artificial Ear

The Journal of Psychology, 1977
This paper is concerned with attempts at sensory substitution and in particular with devices that have been designed to substitute for hearing by using the skin as an alternative channel of communication. A review of the literature suggests that the failure or limitations of tactile substitution systems are due, not to the inadequacy of the skin's ...

Haptics for Sensory Substitution

2019
Using one sensory modality to compensate for a modality that is unavailable is called Sensory Substitution and it is useful and often necessary for conveying some types of information effectively to people with disabilities. Using haptics to substitute for other modalities provides unique benefits as the tactile modality is incredibly flexible and ...
