It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

After more than 30 years of systematic research conducted mainly on the visual abilities of
profoundly deaf individuals, it is apparent that the long-standing debate as to whether …

Background Early deafness leads to enhanced attention in the visual periphery. Yet,
whether this enhancement confers advantages in everyday life remains unknown, as deaf …

In this review, we describe crossmodal plasticity following sensory loss in three parts, with
each section focusing on one sensory system. We summarize a wide range of studies …

Purpose: Several studies have reported faster response time to visual stimuli in profoundly
deaf individuals. This result is often linked to the processing of peripheral targets, and it is …

One of the most significant effects of neural plasticity manifests in the case of sensory
deprivation when cortical areas that were originally specialized for the functions of the …

People can hit rapidly moving balls with amazing precision. To determine how they manage
to do so, we explored how various factors that we could manipulate influenced people's …

Working memory (WM) refers to the human capacity to encode, store, manipulate, and recall
information. A proper understanding of WM therefore provides essential insights into human …

The human brain has the remarkable ability to adapt to changes in its environment by
benefiting from its 'plastic'properties. Following brain injury, the amputation of a limb, or the …

Crossmodal plasticity refers to the reorganization of sensory cortices in the absence of their
typical main sensory input. Understanding this phenomenon provides insights into brain …
