Scientists scan brains to see how blind people 'See' with sound
NCT ID NCT07450677
Summary
This study aims to understand how the brain adapts when visual information is converted into patterns of sound or touch. Researchers will use brain scans and simple tasks to compare how blind and sighted people learn to use this converted sensory information. Participants will train with the technology for 5 weeks and have their brains imaged three times.
