Emerson, Robert Wall; Kim, Dae Shik; Naghshineh, Koorosh; Pliskow, Jay; Myers, Kyle – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2011
Participants who are blind discriminated vehicle paths and made crossing decisions for hybrid vehicles with and without artificial sounds added. Several artificial sounds matched the performance of tasks observed with vehicles with internal combustion engines. These data, with previous vehicle-detection results, indicate that selecting artificial…

Gagnon, Lea; Schneider, Fabien C.; Siebner, Hartwig R.; Paulson, Olaf B.; Kupers, Ron; Ptito, Maurice – Neuropsychologia, 2012
Despite their lack of vision, congenitally blind subjects are able to build and manipulate cognitive maps for spatial navigation. It is assumed that they thereby rely more heavily on echolocation, proprioceptive signals and environmental cues such as ambient temperature and audition to compensate for their lack of vision. Little is known, however,…
