The MADVIS project investigates how the brain adapts to visual deprivation and how this affects the potential for sight restoration. It aims to understand the functional changes in the occipital cortex and their implications for restoring vision.
One of the most striking demonstrations of experience-dependent plasticity comes from studies of blind individuals showing that the occipital cortex (traditionally considered as purely visual) massively changes its functional tuning to support the processing of non-visual inputs.
These mechanisms of crossmodal plasticity, classically considered compensatory, inevitably raise crucial challenges for sight-restoration.
The neglected relation between crossmodal plasticity and sight-recovery will rep…
