This broad exploration of research in plasticity in sensory systems focuses on visual and auditory systems. Topics include visual and visuomotor learning, sensory adaptations as a result of visual loss in childhood, plasticity in the adult visual system, plasticity across the senses, and new techniques in vision recovery, rehabilitation, and sensory substitution.

Plasticity in Sensory Systems

Michael Jenkin

Laurence Roy Harris

This book is about the two-way interplay between vision and action. Vision acts to guide and control actions. But vision also obtains a lot of information about the world by virtue of these actions --for example by moving round an object to obtain successive views. This becomes a reiterative process and it is this that is the focus of this volume. This book contains contributions from scientists who are leaders in each of the several facets of the subject. Examples of the types of action considered vary from moving the eyes and head and body, as in looking around or walking, to complex actions such as driving a car, or playing table tennis.
