Tactile spatial resolution in blind braille readers.
OBJECTIVE To determine if blind people have heightened tactile spatial acuity. BACKGROUND Recently, studies using magnetic source imaging and somatosensory evoked potentials have shown that the cortical representation of the reading fingers of blind Braille readers is expanded compared to that of fingers of sighted subjects. Furthermore, the visual cortex is activated during certain tactile t...
متن کاملFinal version Spatial Perception via Tactile Sensation
If a sensory brain state plays an unusual functional role, does the phenomenology go with the role or the brain state? If the phenomenology goes with the functional role, that supports functionalism, which is the view that phenomenology just is the role. If it goes with the brain state, that supports physicalism, which is the view that phenomenology is what realizes or implements the role. I ag...
متن کاملThe Application of Tactile Experience in Urban Perception
Urban perception is the result of mutual transaction between human and environment and the process of perception is developed through the three continuous steps of “sensation”, “perception” and “cognition”. In the first step (sensorial perception), the environmental signals are received via sensorial sensors and each different sense based on its own essence, performance and ability has its own ...
متن کاملAuditory and auditory-tactile processing in congenitally blind humans.
Studying blind humans is an excellent opportunity to investigate how experience might shape auditory processing. In everyday life, blind humans rely more on auditory information than sighted humans to recognize people, localize events, or process language. A growing number of studies have provided evidence that the increased use of the auditory system results in compensatory behavior in the bli...
متن کاملEarly Vision Impairs Tactile Perception in the Blind
Researchers have known for more than a century that crossing the hands can impair both tactile perception and the execution of appropriate finger movements. Sighted people find it more difficult to judge the temporal order when two tactile stimuli, one applied to either hand, are presented and their hands are crossed over the midline as compared to when they adopt a more typical uncrossed-hands...
