Try living with your eyes closed for a few years. Blind people are better at

9、 locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better. Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of

10、Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away. Twenty-three blind people participated in the study. All had been sightless for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11. the rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also

11、 included 10 people who could see but were wearing blind-folds. In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 metres away. When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well. When sounds came from the side or the

12、 back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group. The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later. Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people, say the rese

13、archers. Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you cant see the cars coming.Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that norma

14、lly deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. These brain parts didnt show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people. The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of “l(fā)ate-onset”

BPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions and a new report published online in Current

20、Biology explains why. Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均勻的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. "We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,"

21、Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth. "According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial

22、 expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people

23、 while they observed pictures of. expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused

24、 much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the who

25、le face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less. "In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emoti

26、on. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. ( )26. The discovery shows that Westerners .
