Human Echolocators Can 'See' With Sound, And Brain Scans Reveal How
(Anna Reshetnikova/iStock/Getty Images Plus) Echolocation is not just a skill that dolphins or bats possess. Believe it or ...
Researchers linked neural activity to how blind individuals determine the location of objects by integrating echoes from mouth clicks into a representation of their surroundings.
New research shows how blind individuals can use mouth-click echolocation to navigate with precision, showing how the brain transforms sound into spatial maps.
