Description:
Individuals who become blind early in life show superior performance on a wide range of auditory tasks. However, the neural basis of this improved performance is still not well understood. Using a combination of BOLD neuroimaging, behavioral testing and computational modeling, I will describe current research in my laboratory trying to understand the relationship between altered brain responses and the extraordinary ability of blind people to make sense of the auditory world.
