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 …

The ventral pathway is involved in primate visual object recognition. In humans, a central
stage in this pathway is an occipito–temporal region termed the lateral occipital complex (LOC), …

The lateral-occipital tactile-visual area (LOtv) is activated when objects are recognized by
vision or touch. We report here that the LOtv is also activated in sighted and blind humans who …

The visual cortex may be more modifiable than previously considered. Using functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in ten congenitally blind human participants, we found …

Purpose: Sensory-substitution devices (SSDs) provide auditory or tactile representations of
visual information. These devices often generate unpleasant sensations and mostly lack …

Using a visual-to-auditory sensory-substitution algorithm, congenitally fully blind adults
were taught to read and recognize complex images using "soundscapes"—sounds …

We used emotional expectancy to study attentional modulation in the processing of emotional
stimuli. During functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), volunteers saw emotional …

The primary sensory cortices are characterized by a topographical mapping of basic
sensory features which is considered to deteriorate in higher-order areas in favor of complex …

The perception of objects is a cognitive function of prime importance. In everyday life, object
perception benefits from the coordinated interplay of vision, audition, and touch. The …
