Encoding Tactile Stimuli for Organoid Intelligence in Braille Recognition
This study proposes a generalizable encoding strategy that maps tactile sensor data to electrical stimulation patterns, enabling neural organoids to perform an open-loop artificial tactile Braille classification task. Human forebrain organoids cultured on a low-density microelectrode array (MEA) are systematically stimulated to characterize the relationship between electrical stimulation parameters (number of pulse, phase amplitude, phase duration, and trigger delay) and organoid responses, mea…

Three updates to old posts this morning:
Another post pointing out CSS-only widgets are problematic:

Narrator is getting a Braille viewer:

CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible
Usually. I originally titled this InacCSS-onlyible. I even made this typographically, er, distinct image. Then I realized it was silly and will instead use the neologism in a talk so I can hear the groans IRL. Interactive widgets powered with only CSS are relatively common as people are playing with…

Do you also enjoy "cracking" random Braille inscriptions based on the context, word lengths, repeating letters and the knowledge how "a" is written?

Futzing around with Narrator (because of its new Braille viewer, which I am working on testing) and reminded of the new speech log (“Speech Recap”):
Narrator Key Alt X
Wanted to confirm this is also true with Narrator:

Speech Viewer Logs of Lies
The headline is intentional hyperbole, chosen mostly for the sloppy alliteration. When sighted users test with a screen reader it is common to rely on the visual output — checking to see where focus goes, confirming that controls behave, watching the spoken output in a text log. The problem is…
