Vision Through Sound Documentary

CBC's Quirks and Quarks: Seeing with Sound
In depth audio documentary (20 minutes, mp3 and ogg) about blind people who can see through their ears using vOICe technology.

The coolest part is a vOICe user describing, in detail, how she interprets and converts the swishy sci-fi sounds into images in her mind's eye. Amazing.

Another coolest part is the same person explaining what she "saw" the first time someone took her to the desert. Wow.

Yet another coolest part was a neurologist explaining how the visual centers are activated in the vOICe users.

This is a really cool, mind expanding documentary. Astonishing.
