Human Echolocation Lab

You may know echolocation from bats and marine mammals, but people can echolocate, too. Everyone can learn to echolocate, and this skill can be particularly useful for people with vision impairments (VI).  In our Research we investigate human echolocation in its own right and how it may benefit people with VI, and we also use echolocation as a paradigm to study brain plasticity. We offer Training and Education in echolocation for people with VI and for VI professionals. Our work has been of interest to the Media, and work in the Lab is done by a wonderful group  of People.
