Echoic Sensory Substitution Information in a Single Obstacle Circumvention Task
Accurate motor control is required when walking around obstacles in order to avoid collisions. When vision is unavailable, sensory substitution can be used to improve locomotion through the environment. Tactile sensory substitution devices (SSDs) are electronic travel aids, some of which indicate the distance of an obstacle using the rate of vibration of a transducer on the skin. We investigate...
متن کاملBlindness enhances auditory obstacle circumvention: Assessing echolocation, sensory substitution, and visual-based navigation
Performance for an obstacle circumvention task was assessed under conditions of visual, auditory only (using echolocation) and tactile (using a sensory substitution device, SSD) guidance. A Vicon motion capture system was used to measure human movement kinematics objectively. Ten normally sighted participants, 8 blind non-echolocators, and 1 blind expert echolocator navigated around a 0.6 x 2 m...
متن کاملAging and Sensory Substitution in a Virtual Navigation Task
Virtual environments are becoming ubiquitous, and used in a variety of contexts-from entertainment to training and rehabilitation. Recently, technology for making them more accessible to blind or visually impaired users has been developed, by using sound to represent visual information. The ability of older individuals to interpret these cues has not yet been studied. In this experiment, we stu...
متن کاملCross-sensory transfer of sensory-motor information: visuomotor learning affects performance on an audiomotor task, using sensory-substitution
Visual-to-auditory sensory-substitution devices allow users to perceive a visual image using sound. Using a motor-learning task, we found that new sensory-motor information was generalized across sensory modalities. We imposed a rotation when participants reached to visual targets, and found that not only seeing, but also hearing the location of targets via a sensory-substitution device resulte...
متن کاملCombining Distributional and Paradigmatic information in a lexical substitution task
This paper describes an unsupervised approach to the Lexical Substitution task as applied to the Evalita 2009 competition. The applied approach builds on an extended Latent Semantic Analysis model that combines distributional and paradigmatic evidence in a unified vector space. All the systems employed in the ART laboratory are based on two main steps: 1) selection of a set of candidate substit...
