Sensory substitution reveals a manipulation bias
Nature Communications, 2020 The challenge of sensory substitution as a therapeutic approach is to design systems that are well accepted by subjects. Here, in deaf songbirds, the authors substitute hearing with vision, suggesting substitution devices could provide sensory feedback ...

Stepping on obstacles with a sensory substitution device on the lower leg: practice without vision is more beneficial than practice with vision. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Practice is essential for an adapted use of sensory substitution devices. Understanding the learning process is therefore a fundamental issue in this field of research.

Visuo-spatial imagery in dreams of congenitally and early blind: a systematic review
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2023 BackgroundThe presence of visual imagery in dreams of congenitally blind people has long been a matter of substantial controversy. We set to systematically review body of published work on the presence and nature of oneiric visuo-spatial impressions in ...

Training-induced plasticity enables visualizing sounds with a visual-to-auditory conversion device
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sensory substitution devices aim at restoring visual functions by converting visual information into auditory or tactile stimuli. Although these devices show promise in the range of behavioral abilities they allow, the processes underlying their use ...

Brain-Machine Interfaces to Assist the Blind
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 The loss or absence of vision is probably one of the most incapacitating events that can befall a human being. The importance of vision for humans is also reflected in brain anatomy as approximately one third of the human brain is devoted to vision.

Sensory substitution: Using a vibrotactile device to orient and walk to targets. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2018 This study investigates how active exploration helps users of sensory substitution devices (SSDs) to detect action-relevant information. A vibrotactile SSD was developed that generates stimulation that is contingent on the users' movements. Target direction was specified by the location of the vibratory stimulation, and target distance by the size and ...
