RuCCS Marquee Course Series: Cognition in Sensory Cortex
Abstract:
Dr Striem-Amit will discuss processes of functional recovery after sensory or motor deprivation in humans using techniques like fMRI. Topics under discussion might include: How does the brain develop in the absence of key sensory or motor experience? What facets of brain capacity and architecture are independent from any specific modality or motor output, allowing them to plastically support compensatory skills? And what does that reveal about the underlying representation and processing in these regions?
