Lore Thaler

A woman with shoulder-length blonde hair and glasses is wearing a black top against a dark background.

Cognitive neuroscientist at Durham University, originally trained in Germany and Canada. Since the late 2000s she has led most of the rigorous experimental work on human echolocation: the first fMRI studies of blind experts, acuity measurements, training trials with sighted volunteers. Her lab provides the empirical backbone for the claim that clicking is a learnable skill rather than a rare gift.
