Considering that cortical plasticity is maximal in the child, why are the majority of
technological devices available for visually impaired users meant for adults and not for …

During the first years of life, sensory modalities communicate with each other. This process
is fundamental for the development of unisensory and multisensory skills. The absence of …

Adults integrate multisensory information optimally (eg, Ernst and Banks,) while children do
not integrate multisensory visual-haptic cues until 8–10 years of age (eg, Gori et al.,). Before …

The peripersonal space is an adaptive and flexible interface between the body and the
environment that fulfills a dual-motor function: preparing the body for voluntary object …

The last quarter of a century has seen a dramatic rise of interest in the development of
technological solutions for visually impaired people. However, despite the presence of many …

Temporal simultaneity provides an essential cue for integrating multisensory signals into a
unified perception. Early visual deprivation, in both animals and humans, leads to abnormal …

It is still unclear how the visual system perceives accurately the size of objects at different
distances. One suggestion, dating back to Berkeley's famous essay, is that vision is …

Multisensory plasticity enables our senses to dynamically adapt to each other and the
external environment, a fundamental operation that our brain performs continuously. We …

Interacting with objects and people requires specifying localized spaces where these
interactions can take place. Previous studies suggest that the space for interacting with …

It has been previously shown that the interaction between vision and audition involves early
sensory cortices. However, the functional role of these interactions and their modulation due …
