Crossmodal plasticity is a textbook example of the ability of the brain to reorganize based on
use. We review evidence from the auditory system showing that such reorganization has …

Electroencephalography (EEG) source localization approaches are often used to
disentangle the spatial patterns mixed up in scalp EEG recordings. However, approaches …

There is converging evidence that the auditory cortex takes over visual functions during a
period of auditory deprivation. A residual pattern of cross-modal take-over may prevent the …

Multiple aspects of brain development are influenced by early sensory loss such as
deafness. Despite growing evidence of changes in attentional functions for prelingual …

There is clear evidence for cross-modal cortical reorganization in the auditory system of post-
lingually deafened cochlear implant (CI) users. A recent report suggests that moderate …

The effect of deafness on sensory abilities has been the topic of extensive investigation over
the past decades. These investigations have mostly focused on visual capacities. We are …

Functional neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that following deafness, auditory
regions can respond to tactile stimuli. However, research to date has not conclusively …

Auditory and visual sensory loss has repeatedly been shown to alter abilities in remaining
sensory modalities. It is, however, unclear whether sensory loss also impacts multisensory …

There is substantial variability in speech recognition ability across patients with cochlear
implants (CIs), auditory brainstem implants (ABIs), and auditory midbrain implants (AMIs). To …

Auditory deprivation and the restoration of hearing via a cochlear implant (CI) can induce
functional plasticity in auditory cortical areas. How these plastic changes affect the ability to …
