That is incredible! Just imagine if it could be taught to more blind people, what an increased level of independance and fulfillment they could have

I remember seeing a documentary on this, in which a blind person was able - using this technique - to ride a bicycle and to hit a ball with a bat (ball was trown slowly of course).
It was very impressive, but the doctors involved said that it is a very difficult learning process, and that not everybody is able to develop their skills with such a device up to that level.

I wonder when he started learning this? I'd assume it would have to be relatively young in order for the brain to be able to reconfigure itself enough. He went blind at two so he knew what sight was which may or may not have helped him understand what he was 'seeing' with the bounce backs.Wikipedia and Google.... the needles to my tangent habit.

Not as much as you'd think. The adult brain is more configurable than previously thought, which is why stroke victims often recover function given time and rehab.Originally posted by Claymonkey
The real problem is that most adults don't have the required can-do attitude & downright stubbornness in their personality that kids have by the bucket.Dr. Mordrid

Sorry. I'm thinking more in terms of this etymology:
Her mother must have won a contest. Or lost a bet.
