SENSORY PLASTICITY

Abstract
Evidence for sensory plasticity is evaluated in relation to the substitution of one sensory system for another. A vision substitution system composed of a TV camera, a commutator, and a large array of stimulators in contact with the skin of the back is under development. Preliminary data is presented showing successful form discrimination and object tracking utilizing the system with stimulator matrix leaving a 2-centimeter interstimulator distance.
