Neuroplasticity in Deaf and Blind Individuals

Catalog description

This graduate seminar focuses upon understanding the human brain as a multisensory processor that integrates information from across multiple modalities in order to make flexible and adaptive decisions. Through readings and class discussion we will explore what studies of sensory processing in deaf and blind individuals reveal about the nature of the multisensory brain, and the implications for understanding how deaf and blind people successfully navigate the world.
