EMEA (http://www.odaa.iisc.ac.in/?page_id=2094) is a Student Research Workshop on “Brain-Inspired Computing & Technologies” organized by the Broadcom Foundation. This workshop is aimed at providing graduate students an exciting opportunity to explore research collaborations in brain-machine interfaces, and brain-inspired technologies and computing. This team worked on “Tactile-Vision Sensory Substitution for blind people with Neuromorphic camera” – Proposed a non-invasive technique for circumventing the loss of one sense by feeding its information through another channel. This could be leveraged to develop a fast tactile-vision vest to allow those with severe vision loss to perceive the world through small vibrations on their wrist. It consists of a neuromorphic camera as a sensor, an action recognition system as a coupling system, and a tactile stimulator.
