A self-training program for sensory substitution devices. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Sensory Substitution Devices (SSDs) convey visual information through audition or touch, targeting blind and visually impaired individuals. One bottleneck towards adopting SSDs in everyday life by blind users, is the constant dependency on sighted ...

The future of sensory substitution, addition, and expansion via haptic devices
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 Haptic devices use the sense of touch to transmit information to the nervous system. As an example, a sound-to-touch device processes auditory information and sends it to the brain via patterns of vibration on the skin for people who have lost hearing ...

Encapsulation of Piezoelectric Transducers for Sensory Augmentation and Substitution with Wearable Haptic Devices [PDF]
Micromachines, 2017 The integration of polymeric actuators in haptic displays is widespread nowadays, especially in virtual reality and rehabilitation applications. However, we are still far from optimizing the transducer ability in conveying sensory information.

Spatial Competence and Brain Plasticity in Congenital Blindness via Sensory Substitution Devices [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 In congenital blindness (CB), tactile, and auditory information can be reinterpreted by the brain to compensate for visual information through mechanisms of brain plasticity triggered by training.

Designing sensory-substitution devices: Principles, pitfalls and potential1. [PDF]
Restor Neurol Neurosci, 2016 An exciting possibility for compensating for loss of sensory function is to augment deficient senses by conveying missing information through an intact sense. Here we present an overview of techniques that have been developed for sensory substitution (SS) for the blind, through both touch and audition, with special emphasis on the importance of ...

Sensorimotor strategies for recognizing geometrical shapes: a comparative study with different sensory substitution devices [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 The sensorimotor approach proposes that perception is constituted by the mastery of lawful sensorimotor regularities or sensorimotor contingencies (SMCs), which depend on specific bodily characteristics and on actions possibilities that the environment ...

Efficiency of Sensory Substitution Devices Alone and in Combination With Self-Motion for Spatial Navigation in Sighted and Visually Impaired [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Human adults can optimally combine vision with self-motion to facilitate navigation. In the absence of visual input (e.g., dark environments and visual impairments), sensory substitution devices (SSDs), such as The vOICe or BrainPort, which translate ...

The Vibe: A Versatile Vision-to-Audition Sensory Substitution Device [PDF]
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2010 We describe a sensory substitution scheme that converts a video stream into an audio stream in real-time. It was initially developed as a research tool for studying human ability to learn new ways of perceiving the world: the Vibe can give us the ability
