Compensatory plasticity and sensory substitution in the cerebral cortex.
Cats deprived visually from birth show few overt impairments in their natural behavior. Therefore, they seem well suited as an animal model for the study of compensatory plasticity after early vision loss. It can be demonstrated that binocularly deprived cats show improved abilities of auditory localization, and at least equal tactile behavior compared to normal controls. Within the anterior ec...
متن کاملSensory Substitution and Perceptual Emergence
Sensory substitution devices (SSDs) can be thought of as sensory prosthetics — as devices by which information normally represented by one perceptual modality is instead represented by an alternative, non-canonical channel involving a second perceptual modality. Given that sensory modalities ordinarily represent a very wide range of properties/events, it is no trivial matter to ensure that such...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Brain Plasticity Following Blindness and the Use of Sensory Substitution Devices
Living with a sensory impairment is challenging and those who have lost the use of one sensory modality need to find ways to deal with numerous problems encountered in daily life. When vision is lost, this may include navigating through space, finding objects, recognizing people or surroundings, reading or even communicating without much access to nonverbal signs provided by others such as eye ...

متن کاملMultisensory integration, sensory substitution and visual rehabilitation.
Sensory substitution has advanced remarkably over the past 35 years since first introduced to the scientific literature by Paul Bach-y-Rita. In this issue dedicated to his memory, we describe a collection of reviews that assess the current state of neuroscience research on sensory substitution, visual rehabilitation, and multisensory processes.
