Explaining brain plasticity in blindness is challenging because the early visual cortex (EVC)
responds to many different tasks, each type supporting a different explanation. Can …

We can sense an object's shape by vision or touch. Previous studies suggested that the
inferolateral occipitotemporal cortex (ILOTC) implements supramodal shape representations …

Shape is a property that could be perceived by vision and touch, and is classically
considered to be supramodal. While there is mounting evidence for the shared cognitive and …

Sensory experience shapes brain structure and function, and it is likely to influence the
organisation of functional networks of the brain, including those involved in cognitive …

The primary visual cortex (V1) in blindness is engaged in a wide spectrum of tasks and
sensory modalities, including audition, touch, language, and memory. This widespread …

Resting-state fMRI studies have revealed that individuals exhibit stable, functionally
meaningful divergences in large-scale network organization. The locations with strongest …

Recent studies have shown that during the typical resting‐state, echo planar imaging (EPI)
time series obtained from the eye orbit area correlate with brain regions associated with …

Many findings suggest that visual deprivation in early life negatively affects the development
of spatial competence and that sighted and visually impaired individuals use different …

Previous research has shown that visual impairment results in reduced audio, tactile and
proprioceptive ability. One hypothesis is that these issues arise from inaccurate body …

In humans, body segments' position and movement can be estimated from multiple senses
such as vision and proprioception. It has been suggested that vision and proprioception can …
