Summary
This study looks at how the brain responds when visual information is turned into patterns of sound or touch. Researchers will use brain scans and simple tasks to see if blind and sighted people can learn to use these signals. The goal is to understand brain adaptation, not to treat or cure blindness. About 200 participants will use assistive devices daily for 5 weeks and have 3 brain scans.
