Blind people can use visual areas of brain to locate sounds
Another great post on the Mind Hacks blog. I think I will buy this book. Well, I’m also fairly broke and I have a few projects on the go, so we will have to see. If I do pick it up, the review will be published here of course. But, there is 55 other books on my Amazon wishlist! Anyways, this is the second post related to Mind Hacks posts (1, 2) in the last few days.
A study just published in the open access journal PLoS Biology has reported that blind people might be able to use parts of the brain for locating sounds that sighted people normally use for vision.
This story also goes along well with my previous story about A device that lets sensory input (touch on the tongue) substitute for another sense (vision)
