Vibrotactile stimuli can facilitate hearing, both in hearing-impaired and in normally hearing
people. Accordingly, the sounds of hands exploring a surface contribute to the explorer's …

Auditory deprivation is known to be accompanied by alterations in visual processing. Yet not
much is known about tactile processing and the interplay of the intact sensory modalities in …

The human nervous system displays remarkable functional plasticity following long-term
sensory deprivation. For example, the auditory cortex of congenitally deaf humans may start …

Low frequency vibrations can be detected by both tactile and auditory systems. The aim of
the present study is to find out, by means of whole-scalp magnetoencephalography (MEG) …

The purpose of this study was to shed light on cortical audiotactile integration and sensory
substitution mechanisms, thought to serve as a basis for the use of a sensor glove in the …

Early auditory deprivation has serious neurodevelopmental and cognitive repercussions
largely derived from impoverished and delayed language acquisition. These conditions may …

Multi-sensory integration (MI) of cross-modal stimuli is pivotal to navigate our everyday
activities. Sensory stimuli from different modalities are integrated to create a more complete …

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 …
