The idea of a #metamodal brain organization "has inspired therapeutic applications, such as #sensory #substitution devices, for example, enabling #blind individuals 'to #see' by transforming visual input into #soundscapes"

"It has been proposed that the brain is organized by '#metamodal', sensory-independent modules specialized for performing certain tasks. This idea has inspired therapeutic applications such as #sensory #substitution #devices, e.g., enabling #blind individuals 'to see' by transforming visual input into #soundscapes."
