Journal ArticleDOI
Classifying EEG signals preceding right hand, left hand, tongue, and right foot movements and motor imageries
TL;DR: The ERD/ERS preceding movement and motor imagery can be used to predict which of the four movements/imageries is about to occur, and to access this utility for brain-computer interface (BCI) applications.

The Tactile Graphics Helper: Providing Audio Clarification for Tactile Graphics Using Machine Vision
Giovanni Fusco,Valerie S. Morash +1 more
TL;DR: A machine-vision based "tactile graphics helper" (TGH), which tracks a student's fingers as he/she explores a tactile graphic, and allows the student to gain clarifying audio information about the tactile graphic without sighted assistance, which provides a promising approach for overcoming tactile-graphic format issues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guiding Novice Web Workers in Making Image Descriptions Using Templates
TL;DR: Two methods of employing novice Web workers to author descriptions of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics images to make them accessible to individuals with visual and print-reading disabilities are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of using multiple hands and fingers on haptic performance in individuals who are blind.
TL;DR: Compared to sighted participants, blind participants performed all tasks faster with multiple fingers, reinforcing the previous finding that the haptic system performs best when it can exploit the independence of multiple fingers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of Haptic Spatial Abilities in the Blind
TL;DR: Evidence of spatial abilities in the blind is reviewed and proposed limitations of haptic perception (the combination of tactile, proprioceptive, and kinesthetic information) in forming spatial representations are addressed, countering the idea that touch is sequential and permits only egocentric representations.
