Abstract

Sensory Substitution is a means of using one sensory modality to gain external information to be used by another sensory modality. However, throughout this process, unintentional effects may occur due to various external reasons. When a substituted sense interferes an original sense, or when the brain experiences unexpected and unfamiliar signals, many malfunctions may appear, affecting the sensory substitution process. In this paper, we introduce the basis of sensory substitution found in perception and neuroplasticity, then analyze the possible complications that may occur throughout the sensory substitution process; in particular, we investigate the implications of sensory conflict and sensory overload in substitution.
