The Human Echolocater.

There are many things that we do, such as breathing, that come naturally to us. Using our
senses-touch, sight, taste, smell and hearing – are essencial parts of this natural intuition.
So, if we had to lose one of them or did not have one, ¿how Would this affect the way we
live? Maybe less than we think. Losing a sense simply means that our natural instincts are
redirected to a different, functioning sense.

Whereas a sighted person´s worls is shaped by What they see, a blind person´s is moulded
by sound. Daniel kish 13 months old, has adopted a system used by animals to map out, in
his mind, where objects are.

Kish uses echolocation a sensory system used by bats to navigate in the dark, in the
sameway, kish uses clicking sounds to determine where and how far away objects are.
These clicking noises send out physical sound waves that bounce back from physical
surfaces. The length of time the sound takes to travel to the ear enables kish to conclude
how far away the object is. But it does not

El ecolocalizador humano. Hay muchas cosas que hacemos, como respirar, que nos
resultan naturales. El uso de nuestros sentidos (tacto, vista, gusto, olfato y oído) son partes
esenciales de esta intuición natural. Entonces, si tuviéramos que perder uno de ellos o no lo
tuviéramos, ¿cómo afectaría esto la forma en que vivimos? Quizás menos de lo que
pensamos. Perder un sentido simplemente significa que nuestros instintos naturales se
redirigen a un sentido diferente y funcional. Mientras que el mundo de una persona vidente
está moldeado por lo que ve, el de una persona ciega está moldeado por el sonido. Daniel
Kish, que ha sido ciego desde que tenía 13 meses, adoptó un sistema que utilizan los
animales para trazar, en su mente, dónde están los objetos. Kish usa la ecolocalización, un
sistema sensorial que utilizan los murciélagos para navegar en la oscuridad. De la misma
manera, Kish usa sonidos de clic para determinar dónde y qué tan lejos están los objetos.
Estos ruidos de clic envían ondas sonoras físicas que rebotan en las superficies físicas. El
tiempo que tarda el sonido en llegar al oído permite a Kish determinar qué tan lejos está el
objeto. Pero no solo determina qué tan lejos está algo; puede reconocer la distancia entre
materiales como la madera y el metal, así como el tamaño de un objeto. Un día, o solo
ocho horas, es todo lo que se necesita para que una persona ciega desarrolle tales
habilidades, dice Kish. Se necesita práctica regular para ser preciso en los movimientos y
confiar en la estabilidad, pero ocho horas de arduo trabajo por la independencia es un
pequeño precio a pagar. Aunque se desaconseja hacer clic en las escuelas para ciegos por
atraer atención negativa, Kish dice que es una buena forma para que una persona ciega se
independice. Ha dedicado su vida a enseñar a las personas ciegas, especialmente a los
niños, a utilizar el sonido de esta manera especial. La investigación sobre la
ecolocalización humana ha descubierto que no tiene nada que ver con que la audición de
una persona sea más aguda que la de otra. Se trata del cerebro. Los científicos
descubrieron que la parte del cerebro que se usa para la vista es extremadamente activa en
las personas que pueden ecolocalizar. Entonces, en lugar de que nuestro cerebro forme una
imagen a través de la vista, la forma a través del sonido. La ecolocalización permite a las
personas ciegas hacer cosas que siempre se han considerado imposibles sin la visión. Kish
es un ávido excursionista y le encanta pasar tiempo solo en la naturaleza. Es allí donde
encuentra la libertad por la que ha trabajado duro.
