Occipital Activation by Pattern Recognition in the Early Blind Using Auditory Substitution for Vision
Abstract
This PET study aimed at investigating the neural structures involved in pattern recognition in early blind subjects using sensory substitution equipment (SSE). Six early blind and six blindfolded sighted subjects were studied during three auditory processing tasks: a detection task with noise stimuli, a detection task with familiar sounds, and a pattern recognition task using the SSE. The results showed a differential activation pattern with the SSE as a function of the visual experience: in addition to the regions involved in the recognition process in sighted control subjects, occipital areas of early blind subjects were also activated. The occipital activation was more important when the early blind subjects used SSE than during the other auditory tasks. These results suggest that activity of the extrastriate visual cortex of early blind subjects can be modulated and bring additional evidence that early visual deprivation leads to cross-modal cerebral reorganization.

“The visual cortex of the early blind was more activated during pattern recognition both before and after training, where participants learned to move a pen on a graphic tablet to scan patterns presented on a monitor, than during two auditory processing tasks: a detection task with noise stimuli and a detection task with familiar sounds.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
