University of Western Ontario. "Bat echolocation: 3-D imaging differentiates how various bats generate biosonar signals." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 25 January 2010. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases ...

Researchers have recently shown that blind echolocation experts use what is normally the "visual" part of their brain to process the clicks and echoes. The study is the first to investigate the neural ...

Toothed whales use sound to find their way around, detect objects and catch fish. They can investigate their environment by making clicking sounds, and then decoding the “echoic return signal” created ...

Echolocation isn’t just for bats and dolphins—people can do it, too. Some blind people have learned to use echolocation to tell the size, density, and texture of objects around them, and researchers ...

A team of researchers from the University of Alcalá de Henares (UAH) has shown scientifically that human beings can develop echolocation, the system of acoustic signals used by dolphins and bats to ...

Echolocation is a technique that uses sound waves to find and detect objects. Some studies suggest that some blind people have developed echolocation to better navigate the world around them. Some ...

A new brain-imaging study of human echolocation is making headlines after 45-year-old Daniel Kish of Long Beach, Calif.—a man who can “see” what’s around him by emitting clicks with his tongue —had ...

The ability of some bats to spot motionless prey in the dark has baffled experts until now. By creating the first visual images from echolocation, researchers reveal we have been missing how bats ...

Humans can learn to use echolocation just like bats, allowing them to navigate a space even if they can’t see. The phenomenon has previously been observed in blind people, who can judge their distance ...

Blind people who navigate using clicks and echoes, like bats and dolphins do, recruit the part of the brain used by sighted people to see, a new study has found. While few blind people use ...

Some blind people are able to use the sound of echoes to "see" where things are and to navigate their environment. Now, a new study finds that these people may even be using visual parts of their ...
