While it is a somewhat known fact that people who lose their ability to see have their other senses heightened, it is still no replacement for actual sight. However, researchers at the Hebrew University have developed a breakthrough app that allows the blind to "see" using music.

Israeli startup DreamZon turns mobile audio notifications into visual ones, for people who suffer from hearing impairments. Their product, LightOn, is a cell phone dock that detects phone vibrations and alerts users with flashing lights.

Can the blind “see” with their ears? Hebrew University of Jerusalem brain scientists have tapped onto the visual cortex of people suffering from congenital blindness by using sensory substitution devices – making it possible for them to “see” and even describe objects.
