Congenitally blind adults can learn to identify face-shapes via auditory sensory substitution and successfully generalize some of the learned features
Abstract Unlike sighted individuals, congenitally blind individuals have little to no experience with face shapes. Instead, they rely on non-shape cues, such as voices, to perform character identification. The extent to which face-shape perception can be learned in adulthood via a different sensory...
