Cross Auditory-visuospatial Learning in People with Blindness: An fMRI Study

The auditory stimuli were generated via an electronic device (called the Ultrasonic Bat-Ears) designed for facilitating navigation for the people with blindness. The weaker BOLD responses in the right inferior and temporal gyri after the training suggest that auditory processing of the Bat-ears soun...

Description
Summary:The auditory stimuli were generated via an electronic device (called the Ultrasonic Bat-Ears) designed for facilitating navigation for the people with blindness. The weaker BOLD responses in the right inferior and temporal gyri after the training suggest that auditory processing of the Bat-ears sounds was less demanding after the blind subjects became more familiar with these sounds (e.g. Haxby et al., 1994).
