At the Reichman University (formerly IDC) in Herzliya, Israeli scientists are creating portals between the senses and even reprogramming our senses. It’s where they invented EyeMusic (see here previously) to help the blind use sound to “see” shapes. https://www.israel21c.org/the-israeli-lab-where-you-can-hear-sights-and-feel-sounds/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU2E6Bw6Ado

Blind man can see with sound

Posted on July 18, 2021

Israeli neuroscientists have trained a 50-year-old man, blind from birth, to recognize objects using Israel’s EyeMusic (see here previously). The system uses sensory substitution that EyeMusic’s Professor Amir Amedi researched at the Hebrew University (see here previously). https://www.israel21c.org/blind-mans-brain-learns-to-see-through-his-ears/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811921003062?via%3Dihub

Shapes, colors and locations are converted to music in order to give an audible “picture” of objects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6bz1pOEJWg&feature=youtu.be http://brain.huji.ac.il/site/em.html
