Abstract:
In this session, four research groups among the big Grant-in-Aid group are going to present a paper on visual disabilities, use of ICT, and cognition of visual, auditory, and tactile information. In addition to them, we will invite two speakers from the USA and France who have been engaged in cognition and persons with visual impairments. It will be a good chance to get comprehensive information in this area, so please consider attending our session at New York in August-September.
