    Still more evidence that Daredevil’s superpower isn’t being able to navigate using echolocation, but to be able to take a beating (which he inherited from his father).

    It’s a stretch to say “anyone can learn echolocation” but kudos to those who’ve mastered this technique. I’ve always found this fascinating.

      From the article:

      “The researchers trained 14 sighted and 12 blind people for between two and three hours twice a week over 10 weeks. They started by teaching participants to produce mouth clicks, then trained them on three tasks. The first two involved judging the size or orientation of objects. The third involved navigating virtual mazes, which participants moved through with the help of simulated click-plus-echo sounds tied to their positions.”

          Well, they started by teaching participants to produce mouth clicks. Then they did exercises judging the size or orientation of objects, and they also had them move around with the help of simulated click-plus-echo sounds tied to their positions.

          They probably bumped into walls a lot, until they learmed

              Writing just “this” adds nothing to the discussion.

                “I was about to type the same” is another option
                Showing there is some sort of consensus is not nothing

                Complaining about an internet comment thread as if you’re a teacher in a 3rd grade class isn’t helpful tho

                  Since the dawn of the internet it is known that “I agree!” comments don’t add anything to the discussion. If you don’t want to learn something new, then, as your teacher, I can’t do much, son.
