Plasticity is an intrinsic property of the human brain and represents evolution's invention to
enable the nervous system to escape the restrictions of its own genome and thus adapt to …

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 …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is generally understood as primarily affecting cognition while
sparing motor function, at least until the later stages of the disease. Studies reported over the …

While multisensory integration is thought to occur in higher hierarchical cortical areas, recent
studies in man and monkey have revealed plurisensory modulations of activity in areas …

Background The loss of vision has been associated with enhanced performance in non-
visual tasks such as tactile discrimination and sound localization. Current evidence suggests …

Much has been studied and written about plastic changes in the CNS of humans triggered
by events such as limb amputation. However, little is known about the extent to which the …

Early blind (EB) individuals can recognize bidimensional shapes using a prosthesis
substituting vision with audition (PSVA) and activate right dorsal extrastriate visual cortex …

To apply enactive principles within human–computer interaction poses interesting
challenges to the way that we design and evaluate interfaces, particularly those that possess …

The “neural Darwinism” theory predicts that when one sensory modality is lacking, as in
congenital blindness, the target structures are taken over by the afferent inputs from other …
