Sensory Substitution is Substitution
Mind & Language, 2015AbstractSensory 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.

Tactile Sensory Substitution Studies
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004Abstract: 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, 2010Visual 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 ...

Body-scaled affordances in sensory substitution
Consciousness and Cognition, 2015The research field on sensory substitution devices has strong implications for theoretical work on perceptual consciousness. One of these implications concerns the extent to which the devices allow distal attribution. The present study applies a classic empirical approach on the perception of affordances to the field of sensory substitution.

An Electrical Stimulator for Sensory Substitution
2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006This work presents an electrical stimulator system for use in sensory substitution (SS), as a mobility aid for visually handicapped people. The whole system passes visual information via cutaneous stimulation, and consists of a webcam, a PC, dedicated hardware to generate stimuli and a 15 x 20 electrode matrix.

Sensory Substitution Devices as Advanced Sensory Tools
2018There has been considerable effort devoted towards understanding sensory substitution devices in terms of their relationship to canonical sensory modalities. The approach taken in this essay is rather different, although complementary, in that we seek to define a broad conceptual space of ‘sensory tools’ in which sensory substitution devices can be ...

Haptics for Sensory Substitution
2019Using 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 ...

Sensory Substitution and Augmentation
2018Sensory 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.
