The Action-Perception Loop Examined Across Senses

We examined how information flowing through the action-perception loop transfers across senses. I will review the results of our studies exploring movement guided by vision compared to movement guided by the Eye Music sensory-substitution device, and how the two may interact. I will argue that sensory-motor learning is not sensory-modality-specific, and that novel sensory-motor information can be transferred between sensory modalities. I will conclude by outlining the important implications of these findings for visual rehabilitation, and for the visually impaired.
