New research identifies two differences in the brains of blind people that might be responsible for their abilities to make better use of auditory information.
According to Studies, it have shown that people born blind or those who by accident or nature become blind early in life often have a more nuanced sense of hearing, more especially the aspect of musical abilities and tracking moving objects.
“There’s this idea that blind people are good at auditory tasks, because they have to make their way in the world without visual information,” says Ione Fine, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington and senior author of both studies. “We wanted to explore how this happens in the brain.”
