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 …

For human and non-human primates, vision is one of the most privileged sensory channels
used to interact with the environment. The importance of vision is strongly embedded in the …

The study of the congenitally blind (CB) represents a unique opportunity to explore
experience-dependant plasticity in a sensory region deprived of its natural inputs since birth …

Cognitive neuroscience seeks to discover how cognitive functions are implemented in
neural circuits. Studies of plasticity in blindness suggest that this mind–brain mapping is …

The lateral-occipital tactile-visual area (LOtv) is activated when objects are recognized by
vision or touch. We report here that the LOtv is also activated in sighted and blind humans …

The occipital cortex (OC) of early-blind humans is activated during various nonvisual
perceptual and cognitive tasks, but little is known about its modular organization. Using …

Sensory substitution devices (SSDs) have come a long way since first developed for visual
rehabilitation. They have produced exciting experimental results, and have furthered our …

Abstract Between 1-5: 100 people worldwide have never experienced normotypic vision due
to a condition called amblyopia, and about 1: 4000 suffer from inherited retinal dystrophies …

Vision is generally considered the dominant sensory modality; self-contained and
independent of other senses. In this article, we will present recent results that contradict this …

The objective of this review is to examine and evaluate recent findings on cognitive
functioning (in particular imagery processes) in individuals with congenital visual …
