There is currently considerable interest in the consequences of loss in one sensory modality
on the remaining senses. Much of this work has focused on the development of enhanced …

Bats and dolphins are known for their ability to use echolocation. They emit bursts of sounds
and listen to the echoes that bounce back to detect the objects in their environment. What is …

Is visual input during critical periods of development crucial for the emergence of the
fundamental topographical mapping of the visual cortex? And would this structure be …

A dominant view in the cognitive neuroscience of object vision is that regions of the ventral
visual pathway exhibit some degree of category selectivity. However, recent findings …

Knowledge of object shape is primarily acquired through the visual modality but can also be
acquired through other sensory modalities. In the present study, we investigated the …

This chapter reviews the most recent advances in sensory substitution and the neural
correlates of navigation in congenital blindness. Studies have established the superior …

In virtual environments, spatial information is communicated visually. This prevents people
with visual impairment (PVI) from accessing such spaces. In this article, we investigate …

Despite the heterogeneity of the umbrella term cerebral visual impairment (CVI) to denote
visual dysfunction in early childhood that results from a wide range of developmental …

The functional specializations of cortical sensory areas were traditionally viewed as being
tied to specific modalities. A radically different emerging view is that the brain is organized …

Performance for an obstacle circumvention task was assessed under conditions of visual,
auditory only (using echolocation) and tactile (using a sensory substitution device, SSD) …
