Voor het 5e Lustrum Symposium van de Vereniging voor Revalidatie bij Slechtziendheid (VRS) op 18 April 2023 hebben we een programma samengesteld met lezingen en demo's rond het thema "Zicht op Zintuigen".
Naast de lezingen van mijn collega's van Psychologische Functieleer, zal ik zelf ook spreken: over het tastzintuig en proprioceptis, hoe deze zintuigen samenwerken, wat er gebeurd met deze zintuigen als visus wegvalt of er nooit is geweest en hoe deze zintuigen veranderen als mensen ouder worden.
