Re: Per COGA meeting today, proposed language changes, XAUR

Hi John,

[Moving this to Research Questions public list for visibility]

I've incorporated your suggestion but modified it somewhat to sit in the 
broader context of the user need.

 >People with traumatic brain injuries can have a range of impairments. 
These may be spatial orientation impairments,auditory processing 
difficulties, visual processing difficulties or a combination. They >may 
miss information in stereo or binaural soundscapes. This can affect 
orientation while navigating.  Even if provided with accurate 
directions, they may not recognize surroundings, or experience >anxiety 
when navigating.

I've added this to the main branch.

Any comments let me know, thanks.
