A navigation system using a binaural bone-conducted sound is proposed. This has three features to accurately navigate the user destination point. First, selection of bone-conduction device and optimal contact conditions between human head are discussed. Second, basic performance localization reproduced by selected with sounds confirmed considering head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) obtaine...

Blindness can be a driving force behind a variety of changes in sensory systems. When vision is missing, other modalities and higher cognitive functions can become hyper-developed through a mechanism called sensory compensation. Overall, previous studies suggest that olfactory memory in blind people can be better than that of the sighted individuals. Better performance of blind individuals in o...
