From clicks to space: each echo adds information. Blind expert echolocators integrate successive clicks to refine spatial representations, outperforming novices. EEG captures the evolving neural dynamics underlying this accumulation process. @skeriresearch.bsky.social @echodislocation.bsky.social

How does the brain "see" with sound? 🔊🧠 New research from our Teng Lab at SKERI shows how expert blind echolocators use successive mouth clicks to build spatial maps of their environment — tracked in real-time with EEG. www.ski.org/news/science... #Neuroscience #VisionScience #Echolocation

The brain stacks sound information to navigate the dark neurosciencenews.com/human-echolo... Each #echolocation "click acts like a brushstroke, building a high-resolution mental representation of the surroundings in real-time."

Excited to talk about #Echolocation and how the brain transforms echoes into spatial representations — with the scientific community and students from @UNAM @FESIztacala 🧠🔊

🧠👶😸

#Echolocation is trainable, but can learning it be optimized? In work presented to CSUN2025 and now published in @csuncod.bsky.social's JTPD vol 13, @haydeegl.bsky.social illustrates the benefits of adjusting synthetic but realistic echolocation sounds to be more perceptible by novice listeners.
