Designing sensory-substitution devices: Principles, pitfalls and potential 1
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 …

Functional connectivity density in congenitally and late blind subjects
Visual deprivation during different developmental periods leads to different structural and
functional alterations in the brain; however, the effects of visual deprivation on the …

[HTML][HTML] Cognitive map formation supported by auditory, haptic, and multimodal information in persons with blindness
For efficient navigation, the brain needs to adequately represent the environment in a
cognitive map. In this review, we sought to give an overview of literature about cognitive map …

Teaching the blind to find their way by playing video games
LB Merabet, EC Connors, MA Halko, J Sánchez - 2012 - journals.plos.org
Computer based video games are receiving great interest as a means to learn and acquire
new skills. As a novel approach to teaching navigation skills in the blind, we have developed …

Cognitive map formation through tactile map navigation in visually impaired and sighted persons
The human brain can form cognitive maps of a spatial environment, which can support
wayfinding. In this study, we investigated cognitive map formation of an environment …

Efficiency of sensory substitution devices alone and in combination with self-motion for spatial navigation in sighted and visually impaired
Human adults can optimally combine vision with self-motion to facilitate navigation. In the
absence of visual input (eg, dark environments and visual impairments), sensory substitution …

Sensory substitution and the neural correlates of navigation in blindness
This chapter reviews the most recent advances in sensory substitution and the neural
correlates of navigation in congenital blindness. Studies have established the superior …

Spatial competence and brain plasticity in congenital blindness via sensory substitution devices
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 …

A standing posture is associated with increased susceptibility to the sound-induced flash illusion in fall-prone older adults
Recent research has provided evidence suggesting a link between inefficient processing of
multisensory information and incidence of falling in older adults. Specifically, Setti et al.(Exp …
