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 ...

One blind man isn’t missing out on the view – instead, he’s using his ears to see, in a process he says is identical to the one bats use. Daniel Kish, founder of nonprofit World Access for the Blind, ...

A team of British researchers has worked with six adult Egyptian fruit bats to record and recreate their calls. These calls are pairs of 'clicks' from the bats' tongues that they use to fill their ...

Echolocation isn’t just for bats and dolphins—people can do it, too. Some blind people have learned to use echolocation to tell the size, density, and texture of objects around them, and researchers ...

Bats' remarkable ability to 'see' in the dark uses the echoes from their own calls to decipher the shape of their dark surroundings. This process, known as echolocation, allows bats to perceive their ...

Bats and dolphins aren’t the only animals that can use echolocation to detect objects in their environments. Humans can use echolocation too, and it’s a game-changer for people who are blind. On ...
