We present the design, development and an initial study changes and adaptations
related to navigation that take place in the brain, by incorporating an Audio-
Based Environments Simulator (AbES) within a neuroimaging environment. This
virtual environment enables a blind user to navigate through a virtual
representation of a real space in order to train his/her orientation and
mobility skills. Our initial results suggest that this kind of virtual
environment could be highly efficient as a testing, training and rehabilitation
platform for learning and navigation.
