Experimental Model for the Study of Changes in the Organization of Human Sensor y Information Processing through the Design and Testing of Non-invasive Prostheti c Devices for Sensory Impaired People l Chaim-Meyer Schef f Department of Applied Mathematic s Weizmann Institute of Scienc e Rehovot, Israe l office telephone [08] 48 32 1 7 Summary : A new method of non-invasiv e prosthetic devices for sensory impaire d people is proposed . These prostheti c devices are based on the transformation o f inaccessible stimulus to impaired sensor y modalities . Blind people would receiv e information about the visual world throug h their auditory senses and deaf people woul d receive information about the auditor y world through their visual senses . (At the end of the article are brief note s addressing the needs of blind-dea f individuals and addressing a novel therap y for the comatose . ) It is su ested that the data derived fro m the testing of the proposed devices wil l provide a new source of highly meaningfu l data with which to better model and bette r understand the organization of the brain a s well as its adaptive
