What do finger movements reveal about how the brain reads braille? Barry Hughes, School of Psychology, University of Auckland
Computational models of print reading by the sighted rely on precise, high-resolution recordings of the rapid eye movements and the brief fixations that readers make when encountering text of differing degrees of complexity or ambiguity. These models, in turn, can better inform the teaching of reading and the diagnosis of reading difficulties. What about braille? Couldn’t the same development enable us to understand --computationally and cognitively—how the brain reads braille?

Gehlke and Biehl Revisited
In 1932 Charles Gehlke and Katherine Biehl reported that the correlation between juvenile delinquency rates and median income for census tracts in Cleveland OH increased as the tracts were aggregated into larger and larger areas. Charles Yule and Maurice Kendall’s experiments in 1950 with agricultural yield data reported that ‘modifiable’ spatial units could be created to furnish correlations ranging from 0 to 1.
