Abstract

There is growing evidence that sensory deprivation is associated with crossmodal neuroplastic changes in the brain. After visual or auditory deprivation, brain areas that are normally associated with the lost sense are recruited by spared sensory modalities. These changes underlie adaptive and compensatory behaviours in blind and deaf individuals. Although there are differences between these populations owing to the nature of the deprived sensory modality, there seem to be common principles regarding how the brain copes with sensory loss and the factors that influence neuroplastic changes. Here, we discuss crossmodal neuroplasticity with regards to behavioural adaptation after sensory deprivation and highlight the possibility of maladaptive consequences within the context of rehabilitation.

Available evidence suggests that there is great potential in sensory substitution methods.
“Notably, although the available evidence suggests that there is great potential in sensory substitution methods (see Bach-y-Rita & Kercel, 2003; Merabet & Pascual-Leone, 2010; Proulx et al., 2016; Shull & Damian, 2015; Nagel et al., 2005, for reviews)”
From Designing sensory-substitution devices: Principles, pitfalls and potential1 (2016) · cites this paper as Merabet & Pascual-Leone, 2010
In “The case of blindness” (page unavailable), the review describes visual-to-tactile and visual-to-auditory sensory substitution devices and evidence that their use recruits visual cortical areas. Its “Conclusions and the implications for rehabilitation” calls for strategies that leverage cross-modal interactions, but it does not specifically assess sensory substitution methods as having great potential.

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.
