Helping the Blind to See like Bats - with REAL SCIENCE

I love it when we push the boundaries
of what it is to be human,
and how we cope with the tides of Fate
- individually, or as a species - by adapting.

Inspired by bats & dolphins,
real scientists took “sound technology”
and shaped their own destiny
in helping the blind to see....

No, really.

See for yourself;
This wee blind girlie
can now “hear” the difference
between a frown and a grin!

Inspirational for a whole series;
And ironic
That even a blind eye can see past the ugly
To poetic beauty.

With special thanks to Alice Dragonwyst Suttie for sharing this fabulous article.
The first time I heard this idea - while researching the series 10 years ago –
the concept was still only a hope, a prayer and science fiction.

Valerie Parv Awesome research, thanks Anita for posting the link. The connection with your book, Diamond Eyes, reminds me of the Sigmund Freud quote: "Everywhere I go, I find a poet has been there before me."
