Deficits and adaptation of eye-hand coordination during visually-guided reaching movements in people with amblyopia -- Beyond the critical period : acquiring stereopsis in adulthood -- The distributed nature of visual object learning -- Building the brain in the dark : functional and specific crossmodal reorganization in the occipital cortex of blind individuals -- Plasticity and restoration after visual system damage : clinical applications of the residual vision activation theory -- Motor adaptation and proprioceptive recalibration -- Visual plasticity of the adult brain -- Applying plasticity to visual rehabilitation in adulthood -- Visual adaptations of vertebrates that transition between aquatic and terrestrial environments -- Human visual plasticity : lessons from children treated for congenital cataracts -- Living with one eye : plasticity in visual and auditory systems -- Crossmodal plasticity in early blindness.

Centered on three themes, this book explores the latest research in plasticity in sensory systems, focusing on visual and auditory systems. It covers a breadth of recent scientific study within the field including research on healthy systems and diseased models of sensory processing. Topics include visual and visuomotor learning, models of how the brain codes visual information, sensory adaptations in vision and hearing as a result of partial or complete visual loss in childhood, plasticity in the adult visual system, and plasticity across the senses, as well as new techniques in vision recovery, rehabilitation, and sensory substitution of other senses when one sense is lost. This unique edited volume, the fruit of an International Conference on Plastic Vision held at York University, Toronto, will provide students and scientists with an overview of the ongoing research related to sensory plasticity and perspectives on the direction of future work in the field.
