I'm curious: what word do
you use for "reading" Braille. I don't know of another word for it. Though Braille uses a different sense than vision, it provides the reader with all of the text and formatting information of the original text.
While it may not as "responsive" as some things you touch, Braille provides access to the same story, in pretty much the same way, as print. (
Scientific American and
the New York Times have reported on studies that found that reading Braille stimulates the same part of the brain that is activated by reading print.
