Representing Colour Through Hearing and Touch in Sensory Substitution Devices
Multisensory Research, 2013Visual sensory substitution devices (SSDs) allow visually-deprived individuals to navigate and recognise the ‘visual world’; SSDs also provide opportunities for psychologists to study modality-independent theories of perception. At present most research has focused on encoding greyscale vision.

Sensory Substitution for Balance Control Using a Vestibular-to-Tactile Device
Multisensory Research, 2014Postural control is essential for most activities of daily living. The impairment of this function can be extremely disabling. This work was stimulated by the testimony of a bilateral partial foot amputee who describes his difficulty in maintaining balance while washing his hair in the shower. We postulated that if the postural control system could not

Visual experiences in the blind induced by an auditory sensory substitution device
Consciousness and Cognition, 2010In this report, the phenomenology of two blind users of a sensory substitution device - "The vOICe" - that converts visual images to auditory signals is described. The users both report detailed visual phenomenology that developed within months of immersive use and has continued to evolve over a period of years.

Sensory Substitution Device Stabilizing Human Voice Production
Adjunct of the 2019 International Conference on Multimodal Interaction, 2019The aim of the study has been to pursue a project on the development of a sensory substitution device capable of stabilizing the human voice production. This device is an alternative solution to the problem with voice production (e.g., singing) among SHearing Impairment Community.

Sensory integration in substitution and augmentation devices
2019Sensory Substitution consists in providing sensory information normally perceived through one sense by means of a different sense. Sensory Augmentation via substitution refers to using this technique to provide sensory information normally inaccessible to human perception.

Conveying perceptible virtual tactile maps with a minimalist sensory substitution device
2012 IEEE International Workshop on Haptic Audio Visual Environments and Games (HAVE 2012) Proceedings, 2012Many sensory substitution interfaces for visually impaired subjects have been proposed, but very few are currently used, probably because of the lack of assessments from both sensory and cognitive standpoints. In this work we have assessed a minimalist sensory substitution device, as part of our DIGEYE system, able to elicit 3D cognitive maps from ...

Participatory Design Using Sensory Substitution Devices with Tactile and Audio Feedback
Proceedings of the 19th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility, 2017Blind or visually impaired persons may experience challenges forming a mental map of the world around them. Our goal, in this participatory study, was to bridge the gap found in current technologies for a blind woman by creating a model utilizing tactile feedback. To achieve this goal, we designed three prototype sensory substitution systems.

Do sensory substitution devices extend the conscious mind?
2012Is the brain the biological substrate of consciousness? Most naturalistic philosophers of mind have supposed that the answer must obviously be “yes” to this question. However, a growing number of philosophers working in 4e (embodied, embedded, extended, enactive) cognitive science have begun to challenge this assumption, arguing instead that ...

Virtual environments for training visually impaired for a sensory substitution device
2017 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC), 2017Virtual reality represents an emerging technology, which can be successfully used to develop training tools in many domains, such as military, space, education or healthcare. The current paper proposes a training strategy for a sensory substitution device in order to improve the ability of visually impaired people to be autonomous, thus to increase the

Using sensory substitution devices for a letter recognition task
2019Humans use their sense of vision in order to interact with their environment in an optimal manner. Those who suffer from blindness are therefore at a disadvantage, and so, scientists, such as Dr. Paul Bach-y-Rita have created sensory substitution devices (SSDs) with the purpose of providing the blind population with more independence.
