The vOICe vision BCI 🧠🇪🇺I had fun drafting something today about The vOICe and Neuralink Blindsight. What am I still missing? https://www.seeingwithsound.com/neuralink.htm I hope to polish and extend a bit in the coming days. Thanks!
KMohZaid@seeingwithsound hey, can you help me understand how seeing with sound works?
Will the brain decode those sound frequency signals and make images?
Any short explanation that can be understandable by a 5 year old kid?
I am interested in learning about this for knowledge and to help one of my cousins with bad eyesight
@KMohZaid Keep in mind that even bad eyesight is generally still much better than what The vOICe can offer. The vOICe is aimed at totally blind people with light perception or less. Can you imagine a rising/falling white line when hearing a rising/falling tone? That's the key. The vOICe scans every image from left to right while associating elevation with pitch and brightness with loudness. Watching the video demo may help to further grasp the idea. https://youtube.com/watch?v=7jFJ_IXzwKI
Can you visualize the soundscapes before their source image appears? Screen recording of The vOICe
Important: use stereo headphones!This sensory substitution training video is aimed at normally sighted (but perhaps also low vision) people, who have eyesigh...
@seeingwithsound so the patient will see what the image is displaying?
Actually they doesn't have that bad eyesight, they can see but blurry
They can see colors, can play game like Ludo, etc
But it is not that good . Hard to walk properly and stuff
As for my knowledge, none of the doctors we have contacted were unable to help in anycase
My uncle wants to try anything possible to give their kid a proper view and bright future.
I hope we get a way to have clear normal eyesight for them.
@seeingwithsound btw, where do you get news updates on the neutralink blindsight project?
I tried to find a place for it but didn't find any. I hope Elon musk provide news on twitter or neutralink website articles.
As of now twitter is full of crypto shit, if we search blindsight on it. Most of results will be about crypto blindsight which is being made by some community after Elon musk announcement
@KMohZaid I block anyone advertising @Blindsight_Eth on Twitter/X, but yes, one needs to be knowledgeable to separate wheat from chaff among all the half-baked hype about Neuralink Blindsight.
@KMohZaid
The blind user will hear the image and try to make (visual) sense of it.
