Re: [AI] Sensory substitution in blind?
I agree. Scientific attitude calls for unbiased investigations of the claims. So, first we have to establish whether the subjects do sense and perceive visual information through other modes by undergoing such training. A friend of my daughter also did that, now her ability is also on the decline as she has given up practicing. So, if sighted can do, so can the blind, or so should the blind too. So, if some one is trying out for blind, let it be done, instead of mocking the efforts. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Kotian, H P Sent: 04 December 2018 10:46 To: 'AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.'

Re: [AI] Talking weighing scale found
Seems accurate enough. May be once I felt it was showing about 500 grams lower than usual. But even parameters like food intake and clothes you wear have an impact. For example, you have heavy lunch, and you would weigh a kilo extra. You wear Jeens instead of track pants, you would weigh higher. I feel as far as you stick to the same scale, you would notice the same deviations that you would on any other scale.

Re: [AI] Talking weighing scale found
Guys, I got my Venus weighing scale today. As of now, it seems to be priced higher at 1149 against last week’s 894. It works well for me. 1) You stand on it and it says “Hello” 2) Then it takes some time to stabilize measurement. 3) Then it announces your weight twice saying “Your weight is 72.7 KG” 4) You get off the scale, it says “Powering down” Here is the URL again for anyone who might need: https://www.amazon.in/Venus-VTS-1999-Electronic-Personal-Weighing/dp/B079GSPFRN Hope this helps!

Re: [AI] Sensory substitution in blind?
Dear Doc Fully agree with you regarding scientifically testing, replicating it etc. What if, there is a pool of kids who can scientifically demonstrate that they can read blind folded etc. Is it not scientific then to test the result and thereafter figure out the mechanisms involved. Why is it that no effort is done in that direction and merely rubbish the claim? Would you as a doctor do the honors then? I for one would hold my tongue until proven this is all a hoax and give the benefit of doubt. Let us not be caught in the nomenclature of mid brain activation etc. Let us first establish the fact that the kids trained in this technique can read blindfold and there is no cheating here. I don't think this should be difficult to establish. Preferably please videograph? Would you pl revert on this please? Would be eagerly awaiting to hear about the findings. Harish. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Sharad Philip Sent: Friday, November 30, 2018 10:38 PM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Sensory substitution in blind? Dear sir I have been following this thread for the past few days . Being a medical doctor by training , i feel i should weigh in here and clarify some things you are saying here . Firstly , mainstream medical scientists as you call them are not a vile community that is looking out for personal commercial interests . Those in research and in clinical practice rarely overlap .anyhow , no one whether as a person or a community is specifically interested in benefiting from another human being s suffering or disability . As and when avenues of treatment / paliation have come up they have been brought into clinical practice after rigorous examinations by the scientific method . The sole aim for such an exercise is to ensure replicability of results . It a little bit more complicated than saying a pre and post comparison . There needs to be an understanding of why anything works , for whom it works , for those it did not work for why did not , what are the best parameters and qualifying situations , whether there are any ill effects for those healthy , any ill effects for those in need of the intervention , is there a way to predict who would benefit and who would not , and many other things . This is possible when the intervention is rooted in some physiological , pharmacological , biochemical basis . In the context of what is being discussed here , there is no physiological or any other scientific basis . The Midbrain is actually a part of the brain that controls a lot of vital functions such as respiration , body temperature etc amongst others . Some nerve fibers from the processing centres for vision do pass through this area . These also control some basic pursuit movements of the eye . Apart from this there also other cranial nerves that mediate taste , touch , and the movements of face and neck muscles . However in the MIDBRAIN activation programs that are being discussed here , the midbrain referred to i s something in between the right and the left !! The only thing between the right and left hemispheres of the Brain is the connection system called the corpus callosum . There is no separate right and left Brain as is commonly referred to in these writings ! All right handed individuals are left dominant - a terminology used to refer to the fact that these people have their speech areas in the left hemispheres . Those left handed are more than 90% left dominant while a few are right dominant . This just implies that certain functions are subserved by certain areas . . Being right brained and left brained is something not based in neuroscience . Then where would the midbrain be is what should be asked ! If the intervention works to reduce the impairment , i am happy as any of you would be but i would still want to know how it does . Unlike common belief , ill effects also plague any intervention - whether psychological , or any activation whatsoever . It is just that they are not recognised or identified . It would only be possible to identify such things in controlled studies . But alas , there is little scope for that to happen . An y such intervention when conducted by persons with specific training weds to weed out subjectiity minimise chance results and identify placebo effects . Such a controlled situation is rarely the case . Anyhow this is all i wanted to say and i hope it helped . With best regards Sharad > On 30-Nov-2018, at 4:20 PM, P.
