Note that there are many more scientific publications that discuss or refer to The vOICe in some way, but generally without adding new experiments based on use of The vOICe. For instance on  PubMed and  Google Scholar you can find a list of scientific publications that cite the original 1992 paper "An experimental system for auditory image representations" ( PMID 1612614). What we still need is more neuroscience research that contributes to mental imagery engineering for sound-guided visual mental imagery. We welcome independent studies from all angles, without strings, non-disparagement clauses or NDAs attached.
