This project tests the metamodal theory of brain function by examining how learning Braille affects brain areas involved in reading. It compares brain activity before and after training in sighted individuals, aiming to enhance understanding of brain plasticity.
According to the canonical view, the brain processes sensory input in dedicated and distinct systems: the visual system, the somatosensory and so forth.
The metamodal view in contrast sees the brain is a flexible task machine, in which each area supports a specific task, computation or representation, irrespective of the sensory modality of the input.We have recently provided evidence in support of the metamodal view in an fMRI experiment with blind Braille readers.
Within the ventral visual are…
