30 31 cognitive navigation and object detection system for blind people

This document summarizes an academic conference presentation on creating a cognitive navigation and object detection system for blind people. The presentation discusses research showing parts of the brain can process sound location to perceive surroundings without sight. It then outlines the CASBLIP and EYE2021 projects, which aim to develop portable technologies translating 3D audio into sounds to help blind users navigate environments. The presentation concludes by speculating on how brain plasticity may allow new ways of "seeing" to develop with further technological advances.

- 5. Can we see with sounds? Illuminated areas show areas of the brain responsible for the processing of changes in the surrounding space. Yellow circle is the region called planum temporale. Las áreas iluminadas indican activación relacionada con percepciones de cambio espacial. El círculo amarillo muestra la región planum temporale. (Foto: The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) The brain process, in a no conscience action, the origin of specific sounds on this area. This is not a voluntary action. De esta forma, los investigadores han llegado a la conclusión de que sus experimentos sugieren que las neuronas en esta región ejercen la función, de manera no intencionada ni conectada a una atención consciente, de localizar en el entorno las fuentes de sonido http://www.solociencia.com/medicina/07102503.htm AEGIS International Conference 2011
- 6. Can we see with sounds? YES, but the type of information and the way of how the information of perceived will not be the same……. SI, siempre y cuando se entienda que ver con los ojos no va a generar el mismo tipo de información en ambos casos….. No sabemos cómo se ve…. AEGIS International Conference 2011

- 11. Can we create an smart and portable system? Able to be easily use WWW.EYE2021.COM EYE2021 is going to be an SME oriented to assist with technology to totally and partially blind people. EYE21 is going to be the first product in the market 2011 able to transform 3D information into audio wit the intention to be used by blind people helping them to perceive better the environment.

- 14. What about the future? A new paper from MIT neuroscientists, in collaboration with Alvaro Pascual-Leone at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, offers evidence that it is easier to rewire the brain early in life. The researchers found that a small part of the brain’s visual cortex that processes motion became reorganized only in the brains of subjects who had been born blind, not those who became blind later in life. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2010/brain-blindness-1021.html How to see?
