[psychology-visionlist] Speaker on echolocation in blind subjects

[Jodie Davies-Thompson]

Hi all,

3 weeks away, but wanted to give you all a heads-up that Lore Thaler - a PI at Durham - is coming to give a talk at the Nottingham Hearing BRU on Monday March 7th at 1pm.

Amongst other topics, Lore does research on echolocation in blind people - both behavioural and neuroimaging. It’s absolutely fascinating stuff. We’re currently arranging her schedule, so if anyone is interested in meeting with her then let me know! 

Her website is: http://community.dur.ac.uk/lore.thaler/researchint.html

You never know - if there are enough people interested, we *may* be able to convince her to give a 2nd talk in the psych department in the afternoon, with a focus on multi sensory aspects of echolation...!

All the best,
Jodie
