“…Similarly, some blind humans have developed the ability to use echoes from self-produced sounds to perceive their silent surroundings. For example, blind echolocators can perceive information such as the size, shape, distance, motion, and material properties of silent objects Kellogg, 1962;Rice, 1967;Rice, 1969;Rice, Feinstein, & Schusterman, 1965;Schenkman & Nilsson, 2010;Stoffregen & Pittenger, 1995;Teng, Puri, & Whitney, 2011;Thaler, Arnott, & Goodale, 2011;). In this way, then, echolocation could be considered a crude substitute for vision, allowing blind humans to perceive aspects of their environment that would otherwise go undetected.…”
