Lynn,
I didn't get this message until just now and I've obviously missed the session. Is there some way to get a recording of the session to download in MP3 format? Thanks!
Scott

Could be a lip smacking good show.

News Wire

Wicab, Inc. in Middleton, WI is developing a new technology that has
the potential to provide assistive benefits to blind individuals by
enabling greater independence. As an assistive tool, the BrainPort
vision device may enhance important functions as mobility,
orientation, reading, object recognition, employment, and recreation.
The BrainPort system presents information to the brain via electrical
stimulation of the tongue, augmenting normal sensory channels. The
device consists of an electrode array for the tongue, a video camera,
and a control system. Luminance or brightness information is collected
from a video camera and translated into electrical intensity patterns
that are "displayed" tactilely on the tongue and interpreted as
spatial-temporal visual information. With just a few hours of
training, BrainPort users form a spatial reference of this new
information to their environment. Participants have able to detect
shapes, identify motion, report contrast differences and depth cues.
The development of BrainPort technology has significant potential for
improving safety and quality of life for those who are blind.
