People are learning echolocation, the ability to navigate like a bat, and you could too in just 10 weeks, according to a new study.
June 23, 2022 – A new study on teaching navigation skills to humans might get you a little closer to being Batman.
The process is called echolocation. Used by bats to get around in the dark, it is the process of locating an object using echoed sound waves. Dolphins and whales also use it to navigate through water. A newdemonstrates how humans, too, can develop this “sixth sense” in about 10 weeks by sending out the right code of verbal clicks and snaps.
In a 2021 study, researchers challenged both sighted and sight-challenged people to get through a series of mazes and describe objects using echolocation techniques that involved making verbal clicking noises., the researchers said. By the end of the 10-week study, the group was able to cruise through the corridors with fewer collisions and identify the size and shape of objects presented to them, regardless of their age or sight status.
Blind people who were nearly 80 years old were able to master the skills easily and bumped into walls the same amount as younger subjects; though, the younger ones were speedier at completing the mazes.from the university built on these findings by testing how well those echolocation skills worked and noting that they are most precise when objects are at a 45-degree angle instead of straight ahead.
The new study suggests that human and bat echolocation processes are more similar than previously thought. Both humans and bats are more skilled at interpreting echoes when their
