Highlights•Biased connectivity and shape sensitivity explain plasticity in sensory
deprivations.•Large-scale network organization is preserved in deprived retinotopic visual …

When one sense is unavailable, sensory responsibilities shift and processing of the
remaining modalities becomes enhanced to compensate for missing information. This shift …

Under conditions of profound sensory deprivation, the brain has the propensity to
reorganize. For example, intact sensory modalities often recruit deficient modalities' cortices …

We draw from recent research in violin quality evaluation and piano performance to examine
whether the vibrotactile sensation felt when playing a musical instrument can have a …

Presentation of music as vibration to the skin has the potential to facilitate interaction
between musicians with hearing impairments and other musicians during group …

In order to facilitate the development of wrist-worn vibrotactile devices, detailed knowledge
about how vibrations are perceived by the users is needed. In particular, perceptual …

This chapter provides an overview of multisensory processing in music by individuals with
normal hearing, hearing loss, and deafness. The first section provides an account of theory …

Background Cross-modal reorganization, which occurs when a deprived sensory modality's
cortical resources are recruited by other intact modalities, has been proposed as a source of …

Deprived of sensory input, as in deafness, the brain tends to reorganize. Cross-modal
reorganization occurs when cortices associated with deficient sensory modalities are …

Perceptual experience is shaped by a complex interaction between our sensory systems in
which each sense conveys information on specific properties of our surroundings. This …
