The Need for User Centered Wearable Devices for the Blind
IEEE: ISTAS'2013Daniel Kish, Plenary Session
"This talk focuses on outlining some of the challenges that modern technology presents disabled individuals. Blindness is emphasized as an example that exemplifies the issues faced."
Science and Technology
A library of academic and applied publications, programs, and video presentations about the scientific study of our approach to perceptual navigation, as well as the science behind it, and its applications. All of these pieces reference our work. We provided technical consulting for most of these pieces, and authored or co-authored several of them.
Sound Vision: The Consciousness of Seeing with Sound
Toward a Science of Consciousness - 2012 Plenary SessionDaniel Kish
Presents on the popular philosophical issue of what it's like to be a bat, with perspectives of neural science and psychology.
No Sight, No Limits: How the Blind Learn to See
Brain Development and Learning Conference - July 25, 2013Daniel Kish
"Under-development of self-direction seems common but unnecessary among blind people, and often leads to passive dependence and under achievement. We demonstrate and discuss conditions that foster or disrupt the development of the process of self directed achievement, as well as methods for remediation. We show that self directed achievement is optimized by natural perceptual engagement, rather than structured skills repertoire. Emphasis is given to the activation of the imaging system as suggested by recent brain scan studies. Hands on demonstrations of FlashSonar imaging and its application to freedom of movement are provided."
Brain Awareness Week 2014
Prof. Mel Goodale (Brain and Mind Institute) and Brian Bushway (World Access for the Blind)Keynote Speakers
The Center for Integrative Neuroscience: University of Nevada, Reno
"Brain Awareness Week is the global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research. The Integrative Neuroscience Center of Biomedical Research Excellence and the Sierra Nevada Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience presented a host of student oriented activities at UNR to celebrate and explore the wonders of the brain."
Mindshare LA: Puts Innovation and Research to a Test in Solving Modern Challenges
