Face shape processing via visual-to-auditory sensory substitution activates regions within the face processing networks in the absence of visual experience

Previous evidence suggests that visual experience is crucial for the emergence and tuning of the typical neural system for face recognition. To challenge this conclusion, we trained congenitally blind adults to recognize faces via visual-to-auditory sensory-substitution (SDD). Our results showed a p...
