Comprehending and debugging computer programs are inherently difficult tasks for sighted programmers. These tasks are even more difficult for non-sighted programmers, who must rely exclusively on audio-based representations of programs. The current state-of-the art approach to building program execution and debugging environments for non-sighted programmers is to retrofit existing visual enviro...

Previous studies have provided evidence for a tool-selective region in left lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC). This region responds selectively to pictures of tools and to characteristic visual tool motion. The present human fMRI study tested whether visual experience is required for the development of tool-selective responses in left LOTC. Words referring to tools, animals, and nonmanipul...

BACKGROUND In order to evaluate the effect of an auditory-memory attention-demanding task on balance control, nine blind adults were compared to nine age-gender-matched sighted controls. This issue is particularly relevant for the blind population in which functional assessment of postural control has to be revealed through "real life" motor and cognitive function. The study aimed to explore wh...

To further the understanding how the human brain adapts to early-onset blindness, we searched in early-blind and normally-sighted subjects for functional brain networks showing the most and least spatial variabilities across subjects. We hypothesized that the functional networks compensating for early-onset blindness undergo cortical reorganization. To determine whether reorganization of functi...

Education and electronic technology known as e-learning, m-learning or mobile learning is a combination of web-based elements. Technology now making teaching processes more widespread among educators students. This in line with the Industrial Revolution 4.0 which involves Internet Things (IoT) almost every aspect daily life leads to use information (IT). No exception, Braille sighted students a...
