Sensory deprivation can offset the balance of audio versus visual information in multimodal
processing. Such a phenomenon could persist for children born deaf, even after they receive …

Cochlear implants (CIs) are the most successful treatment for severe-to-profound deafness
in children. However, speech outcomes with a CI often lag behind those of normally-hearing …

Speech perception is inherently a multisensory process involving integration of auditory and
visual cues. Multisensory integration in cochlear implant (CI) recipients is a unique …

Auditory-motor and visual-motor networks are often coupled in daily activities, such as when
listening to music and dancing; but these networks are known to be highly malleable as a …

Introduction Cochlear implantation is currently the most successful intervention for severe-to-
profound sensorineural hearing loss, particularly in deaf infants and children. Nonetheless …

Limited auditory input, whether caused by hearing loss or by electrical stimulation through a
cochlear implant (CI), can be compensated by the remaining senses. Specifically for CI …

While deafness-induced plasticity has been investigated in the visual and auditory domains,
not much is known about language processing in audiovisual multimodal environments for …

Over the first years of life, the brain undergoes substantial organization in response to
environmental stimulation. In a silent world, it may promote vision by (i) recruiting resources …

For many cochlear implant (CI) users, visual cues are vitally important for interpreting the
impoverished auditory speech information that an implant conveys. Although the temporal …

Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine audiovisual speech integration in
cochlear-implanted children and in normally hearing children exposed to degraded auditory …
