Do humans possess general intelligence? No, or else they would find it easy to master seeing with sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihSbdGjB3BQ #AI #AGI, #SensorySubstitution #blind

Would be nice if neuroscientists took action: train a group of students on "minimal pictorial image" exercises like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihSbdGjB3BQ and test them via multiple choice, e.g. using 4 similar images of which one is the true source of the soundscape; monitor progress in performance; #neuroscience #SensorySubstitution #crossmodal #plasticity

The Topo-Speech sensory substitution system as a method of conveying spatial information to the blind and vision impaired https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2022.1058093/full by Amir Amedi et al.; #SensorySubstitution #auditory #neuroscience

Cross-modal correspondence enhances elevation localization in visual-to-auditory sensory substitution https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1079998/full "Participants were more accurate to localize elevation with pitch-based encodings than with the spatialization-based only method"; #SensorySubstitution #SSD #auditory #neuroscience
