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 …

The possibility that, following early auditory deprivation, the remaining senses such as vision
are enhanced has been met with much excitement. However, deaf individuals exhibit both …

The principles that guide large-scale cortical reorganization remain unclear. In the blind,
several visual regions preserve their task specificity; ventral visual areas, for example …

The developing brain responds to the environment by using statistical correlations in input to
guide functional and structural changes—that is, the brain displays neuroplasticity …

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 …

Brain reorganization associated with altered sensory experience clarifies the critical role of
neuroplasticity in development. An example is enhanced peripheral visual processing …

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 …

The loss of one sensory modality can lead to a reorganization of the other intact sensory
modalities. In the case of individuals who are born profoundly deaf, there is growing …

We used Goldmann kinetic perimetry to compare how training and congenital auditory
deprivation may affect the size of the visual field. We measured the ability of action video …
