Echolocation in blind and sighted humans

November 30, 2023

12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET

Lore Thaler, Ph.D. 
Associate Professor, Department of Psychology

Please note: This seminar will be virtual only.

Dr. Thaler’s research investigates how echolocation works and the ways that it may benefit people with visual impairments. Her lab also uses echolocation as a model to study the plasticity of the brain.

Her lecture, titled “Echolocation in blind and sighted humans,” expands further on this ongoing research and the novel discoveries resulting from such studies.
