Book excerpt: This book conveyed the visual elements of artwork to the visually impaired through various sensory elements to open a new perspective for appreciating visual artwork. In addition, the technique of expressing a color code by integrating patterns, temperatures, scents, music, and vibrations was explored, and future research topics were presented. A holistic experience using multi-sensory interaction acquired by people with visual impairment was provided to convey the meaning and contents of the work through rich multi-sensory appreciation. A method that allows people with visual impairments to engage in artwork using a variety of senses, including touch, temperature, tactile pattern, and sound, helps them to appreciate artwork at a deeper level than can be achieved with hearing or touch alone. The development of such art appreciation aids for the visually impaired will ultimately improve their cultural enjoyment and strengthen their access to culture and the arts. The development of this new concept aids ultimately expands opportunities for the non-visually impaired as well as the visually impaired to enjoy works of art and breaks down the boundaries between the disabled and the non-disabled in the field of culture and arts through continuous efforts to enhance accessibility. In addition, the developed multi-sensory expression and delivery tool can be used as an educational tool to increase product and artwork accessibility and usability through multi-modal interaction. Training the multi-sensory experiences introduced in this book may lead to more vivid visual imageries or seeing with the mind's eye.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this Research Topic is to reflect and discuss links between neuroscience, psychology, computer science and robotics with regards to the topic of cross-modal learning which has, in recent years, emerged as a new area of interdisciplinary research. The term cross-modal learning refers to the synergistic synthesis of information from multiple sensory modalities such that the learning that occurs within any individual sensory modality can be enhanced with information from one or more other modalities. Cross-modal learning is a crucial component of adaptive behavior in a continuously changing world, and examples are ubiquitous, such as: learning to grasp and manipulate objects; learning to walk; learning to read and write; learning to understand language and its referents; etc. In all these examples, visual, auditory, somatosensory or other modalities have to be integrated, and learning must be cross-modal. In fact, the broad range of acquired human skills are cross-modal, and many of the most advanced human capabilities, such as those involved in social cognition, require learning from the richest combinations of cross-modal information. In contrast, even the very best systems in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics have taken only tiny steps in this direction. Building a system that composes a global perspective from multiple distinct sources, types of data, and sensory modalities is a grand challenge of AI, yet it is specific enough that it can be studied quite rigorously and in such detail that the prospect for deep insights into these mechanisms is quite plausible in the near term. Cross-modal learning is a broad, interdisciplinary topic that has not yet coalesced into a single, unified field. Instead, there are many separate fields, each tackling the concerns of cross-modal learning from its own perspective, with currently little overlap. We anticipate an accelerating trend towards integration of these areas and we intend to contribute to that integration. By focusing on cross-modal learning, the proposed Research Topic can bring together recent progress in artificial intelligence, robotics, psychology and neuroscience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the design of the new mobility assistive information and communication technologies (ICT) devices for the visually impaired. The book begins with a definition of the space concept, followed by the concept of interaction with a space during mobility and this interaction characteristics. The contributors will then examine the neuro-cognitive basis of space perception for mobility and different theories of space perception. The text presents the existing technologies for space perception (sense recovery with stem and iPS cells, implants, brain plasticity, sensory substitution devices, multi modal technologies, etc.), the newest technologies for mobility assistance design, the way the feedback on environment is conveyed to the end-user. Methods for formative and summative evaluations of the mobility devices will also be discussed. The book concludes with a look to the future trends in research and technology development for mobility assistive information and communication technologies.

This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book offers a broad and helpful definition of inclusive education – one which centres upon high quality, relevant and evidenced teaching and support.” Graeme Douglas, Professor of Disability and Special Educational Needs, University of Birmingham, UK “This book is a must-have for every teacher in primary and secondary schools and should be compulsory literature on all teacher training courses.” Marleen J. Janssen, Ph.D., Professor Inclusive and Special Needs Education, University of Groningen Institute for Deafblindness, The Netherlands Supporting learners with Multisensory Impairment (MSI) (Deafblindness) requires a range of strategies and this book offers a synthesis of best practice with the latest theory and research. At a time when we are urgently calling for inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all, there are significant gaps in research on educating children and young people with MSI and complex needs To address this gap, this book brings together theoretical literature, the latest research studies, and a combination of best practices and effective educational strategies for learners with MSI and complex needs. Leda Kamenopoulou ensures the central focus is on learners with the most complex needs, for whom inclusion in education can be very challenging to achieve without bespoke strategies, flexibility and creativity. This book: •Provides a multitude of resources for those teaching learners with MSI and complex needs •Expands the understanding of inclusive education and advocates for a focus on the ‘quality of provision’ •Features illustrative case studies, tools, and bespoke activities •Raises awareness and contributes to the current knowledge base around an under-explored disability •Presents evidence and practice-based strategies for including learners with MSI in any educational setting This is a much-needed resource for student teachers, professionals, post-graduate researchers and academics in the field of MSI, sensory and complex needs, and all those interested in making inclusive and equitable quality education a reality for all. Leda Kamenopoulou is an Associate Professor at the Department of Psychology and Human Development, IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, UK. Her teaching, research and publications focus on Multisensory Impairment (Deafblindness), inclusive education within different contexts, and preparing teaching professionals for meeting the needs of all learners.
