“…Indeed, there is evidence that regions in LOTC are involved in extracting object shape from tactile input (Peelen, Rogers, Wing, Downing, & Bracewell, 2010;Amedi, von Kriegstein, van Atteveldt, Beauchamp, & Naumer, 2005;Reed, Shoham, & Halgren, 2004;Amedi, Jacobson, Hendler, Malach, & Zohary, 2002;Amedi, Malach, Hendler, Peled, & Zohary, 2001). Furthermore, motion-selective area hMT + , located just posterior to LOTC tool, responds to auditory motion, particularly in early blind individuals (Bedny et al, 2010;Saenz, Lewis, Huth, Fine, & Koch, 2008;Ricciardi et al, 2007;Poirier et al, 2005Poirier et al, , 2006. These results are consistent with the idea that "visual" regions in sighted individuals may perform similar computations (e.g., motion processing) on input from nonvisual modalities in congenitally blind individuals (Pascual-Leone & Hamilton, 2001).…”
