Can humans be positioned echo?You can learn in 10 weeks

Science Fiction Network June 23 (Qin Yingying) According to BGR reports, when you think of echo positioning, you may think of bats or dolphins. But echo positioning is also used as a way for blind navigation. Although this skill is useful, few blind people really learn how to use echo positioning. However, researchers now say that humans can learn echo positioning in just 10 weeks. This may make it feasible skills for people with obstacles.

Researchers asked 12 blinds and 14 normal vision to participate in the experiment. After training, the results showed that all blind people and normal vision participants learned echo positioning, and they had a lot of great in echo positioning based on clicks. Improve.

Researchers have found that the participants of the group performed equally with those who have been positioning in echo for many years. This means that humans can effectively master this skill in a short period of time.

As we grow older, navigation in the world around us will become more difficult. However, if people learn how to use echo positioning, losing their vision may not feel the weakening of their basic navigation skills.

This experiment shows that blind people and people with normal vision can learn echo positioning. Maybe we can find a new method to help people with vision disorders more likely to travel.
