wired.com— With just a few weeks of training, you can learn to see objects in the dark using echolocation the same way dolphins and bats do.

f**k it... I'll make a pair of glasses that emits an ultrasonic tone and interprets the rooms echo data, to be projected into my eyes... That-- or I just played way too much Metroid Prime II in my day.
My roommate's younger brother had a similar condition that left him blind since he was 3. He's been doing this for years himself, and pretty much moves around his house and the neighborhood without assistance.I would've never believed it if I hadn't seen it in action.
No we don't, that's a bulls**t retarded statistic that someone pulled out of their ass once which is definitely not 'how much of our brain' we use at all, which is in itself a stupid idea.
There is quite difference between the 'see like dolphin' and the case of blind people. The case of blind people is they can only find the position of static objects,once they are moved around they will stumble upon it . But in this case its 'Echolocation'

But that would make Ben Affleck's character in Daredevil plausible... that can't possibly be right! :P

Am I the only one spinning around in my cube making clicking noises?
