Multisensory temporal processing in early deaf

S Whitton, JM Kim, AN Scurry, S Otto, X Zhuang… - Neuropsychologia, 2021 - Elsevier
Navigating the world relies on understanding progressive sequences of multisensory events
across time. Early deaf (ED) individuals are more precise in visual detection of space and …

The extent of task specificity for visual and tactile sequences in the auditory cortex of the deaf and hard of hearing

M Zimmermann, P Mostowski, P Rutkowski… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
It has been proposed that the auditory cortex in the deaf humans might undergo task-specific
reorganization. However, evidence remains scarce as previous experiments used only two …

Electrophysiological dynamics of visual-tactile temporal order perception in early deaf adults

AN Scurry, K Chifamba, F Jiang - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Studies of compensatory plasticity in early deaf (ED) individuals have mainly focused on
unisensory processing, and on spatial rather than temporal coding. However, precise …

Response speed advantage for vision does not extend to touch in early deaf adults

B Heimler, F Pavani - Experimental Brain Research, 2014 - Springer
Early deaf adults typically respond faster than hearing controls when performing a speeded
simple detection on visual targets. Whether this response time advantage can generalise to …

Sensory temporal processing in adults with early hearing loss

JE Heming, LN Brown - Brain and Cognition, 2005 - Elsevier
This study examined tactile and visual temporal processing in adults with early loss of
hearing. The tactile task consisted of punctate stimulations that were delivered to one or both …

Auditory and visual distractors disrupt multisensory temporal acuity in the crossmodal temporal order judgment task

CL Dean, BA Eggleston, KD Gibney, E Aligbe… - PLoS …, 2017 - journals.plos.org
The ability to synthesize information across multiple senses is known as multisensory
integration and is essential to our understanding of the world around us. Sensory stimuli that …

Hearing shapes our perception of time: temporal discrimination of tactile stimuli in deaf people

N Bolognini, C Cecchetto, C Geraci… - Journal of Cognitive …, 2012 - direct.mit.edu
Confronted with the loss of one type of sensory input, we compensate using information
conveyed by other senses. However, losing one type of sensory information at specific …

Congenitally blind humans use different stimulus selection strategies in hearing: an ERP study of spatial and temporal attention

B Röder, UM Krämer, K Lange - Restorative Neurology and …, 2007 - content.iospress.com
Purpose: Superior temporal processing skills, both in the auditory and tactile system have
been reported in blind as compared to sighted humans. The present experiment tested …

Multisensory interference in early deaf adults

B Heimler, F Baruffaldi, C Bonmassar… - The Journal of Deaf …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Multisensory interactions in deaf cognition are largely unexplored. Unisensory studies
suggest that behavioral/neural changes may be more prominent for visual compared to …

Enhanced spontaneous functional connectivity of the superior temporal gyrus in early deafness

H Ding, D Ming, B Wan, Q Li, W Qin, C Yu - Scientific Reports, 2016 - nature.com
Early auditory deprivation may drive the auditory cortex into cross-modal processing of non-
auditory sensory information. In a recent study, we had shown that early deaf subjects …
