Expert blind individuals navigate with tongue clicks. Neuroimaging shows they activate the visual cortex processing echoes.

People without a visual cortex correctly locate an object they say they can't see. The brain perceives through alternative routes.

Devices that translate images into sound or touch. The brain learns to read them as a new kind of sight.

The heart sends the brain more signals than it receives. Science links this to intuition.

In blindness, the visual cortex is repurposed for touch and hearing.
