Behavioral Studies. Schematic representation of behavioral studies using the EyeCane. (A) A Hebb Williams maze configuration used to test participants’ ability to learn a configuration over several days of training in real and virtual environments. (B) Behavioral results showing performance for CB, sighted blindfolded controld (SbfC), low vision and late blind participants (LvLb), and sighted full vision controls (SfvC). On the third day of training, there is mostly a lack of statistical difference with the performance of the sighted using vision. (C) A Hebb Williams maze configuration used for testing the transfer of spatial knowledge between real and virtual environments and vice versa. (D) Behavioral results showing the transfer of spatial knowledge between real and virtual environments and vice versa for CB, and LB (adapted from Chebat et al., 2015, 2017). *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01.
