Researchers have recently shown that blind echolocation experts use what is normally the "visual" part of their brain to process the clicks and echoes. The study is the first to investigate the neural ...

New research shows that the brains of sighted and blind people adapt in a similar way when they learn to use sound echoes to understand the world without vision. The study, led by Durham University, ...

Reverberation localization (echolocation) is a method of knowing the distance, direction, size, etc. of an object from the echo of the emitted sound or ultrasonic waves, and is known to be performed ...

For years, a small number of people who are blind have used echolocation, by making a clicking sound with their mouths and listening for the reflection of the sound to judge their surroundings. Now, ...

Human echolocation operates as a viable 'sense,' working in tandem with other senses to deliver information to people with visual impairment, according to new research. Ironically, the proof for the ...

Most of us associate echolocation with bats. These amazing creatures are able to chirp at frequencies beyond the limit of our hearing, and they use the reflected sound to map the world around them. It ...

Blind people who navigate using clicks and echoes, like bats and dolphins do, recruit the part of the brain used by sighted people to see, a new study has found. While few blind people use ...

When Albert Einstein famously declared “reality is merely an illusion,” what he really implying was that reality as we see it is relative to its observer. For humans, it’s dominated by the colors of ...
