At #ARVO2026, Wednesday May 6: The vOICe visual-to-auditory sensory substitution device (SSD) for the blind evokes stronger visual cortex activity than a tongue display unit (TDU), for both early blind and late blind people mas.…

Graph of visual cortex (occipital lobe) activity in early blind in response to The vOICe and tongue display (left), and the same graph for late blind (right). In both graphs, The vOICe evokes stronger visual cortex activity, for visual cortex in both the left and right hemisphere. "When using either vision-to-tactile or vision-to-sound sensory substitution devices for vision restoration, we found that auditory approaches elicited stronger visual cortex activity than tactile approaches across b…
