- The paper, described by one EBR reviewer as “methodologically sophisticated”, shows that spatial information provided by sensory substitution devices allows the central nervous system to form an internal representation of the position of an aperture. The results have potential implications for orientation and mobility programs designed to promote rehabilitation following severe visual loss, as well as for the design of sensory substitution devices. It has led to collaboration with Cambridge University on studies investigating sensory function.
