Functional and Structural Neuroplasticity Induced by Short-Term Tactile Training Based on Braille Reading
Neuroplastic changes induced by sensory learning have been recognized within the cortices of specific modalities as well as within higher ordered multimodal areas. The interplay between these areas is not fully understood, particularly in the case of somatosensory learning. Here we examined functional and structural changes induced by short-term tactile training based of Braille reading, a task...
متن کاملReading Visual Braille with a Retinal Prosthesis
Retinal prostheses, which restore partial vision to patients blinded by outer retinal degeneration, are currently in clinical trial. The Argus II retinal prosthesis system was recently awarded CE approval for commercial use in Europe. While retinal prosthesis users have achieved remarkable visual improvement to the point of reading letters and short sentences, the reading process is still fairl...
متن کاملMeasuring Braille reading speed with the MNREAD test
Braille is an important form of written communication for many visually disabled people. Perceptual factors limiting Braille reading speed are poorly understood, partly because of the lack of accurate, standardized testing methods. In this paper, we describe a new, standardized method for measuring Braille reading speed, adapted from the MNREAD test for print reading speed. The key principles i...
متن کاملA study of braille reading: 1. Reading speed as a function of hand usage and context.
Evidence regarding the respective functions of die hands in braille reading was sought by considering how reading speed is affected by hand usage and degree of contexual constraint. Twenty-four blind readers read aloud prose, statistical approximations and scrambled words with cidier hand alone or with die two hands. No overall superiority of one hand was observed in one-handed reading, but the...
متن کاملBraille in the Sighted: Teaching Tactile Reading to Sighted Adults
Blind people are known to have superior perceptual abilities in their remaining senses. Several studies suggest that these enhancements are dependent on the specific experience of blind individuals, who use those remaining senses more than sighted subjects. In line with this view, sighted subjects, when trained, are able to significantly progress in relatively simple tactile tasks. However, the...
