    About This Project

    Blind and low-vision readers read and write text using braille, a tactile system of raised dots. In this project, we will monitor braille readers' hand movements and electroencephalographic (EEG) brain activity to understand how they build meaningful text from dot patterns. We expect our unique approach to reveal the richer processing of letters and words when they are part of continuous language and read in a more naturalistic context, compared to being read in isolation.

    Blast off!
