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 ...

A pod of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) swimming at the Las Cuevitas dive site in the Revillagigedo Archipelago. We typically imagine echolocation as “seeing” with sound—experiencing ...

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 ...

Meet two blind people who use echolocation to live a "sighted" life. Aug. 9, 2006 — -- When bats go out to hunt, they send out sonar signals at such high frequencies and in such rapid bursts that ...

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 ...

A team of researchers in the UK says it’s trained a cohort of people to use echolocation. The researchers included in their study both people with full vision and people with serious visual ...

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 ...

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 ...
