This project investigates how visually impaired individuals use spatial reference frames for navigation and memory. It employs a sensory substitution device to explore whether mimicking visual input can enhance spatial cognition in those without visual experience.
Thanks to the neural plasticity the remaining modalities can reorganise the human brain to compensate the effects of blindness.
Yet, studies investigating the performance of visually impaired people in spatial tasks reported mixed results.
This suggests that vision might be crucial for spatial tasks.
Other studies reported that visual experience is necessary to establish an allocentric (external) reference frame to integrate multisensory inputs occurring within the peripersonal space.
However, i…
