Mapping Visual Contrast Sensitivity and Vision Loss Across the Visual Field with Model-Based fMRI

This paper develops an fMRI method to measure contrast sensitivity across the visual field without requiring precise fixation, showing reliable patterns and tolerance to eye movement.

Stable Cortical Body Maps Before and After Arm Amputation

This study shows that cortical representations of hand and lips remain stable before and after arm amputation, contradicting previous claims of large-scale reorganization.

Temporal confounds emulate multivariate fMRI measures of perceptual learning

This paper shows that temporal confounds in fMRI studies of perceptual learning can create false signals of neural reorganisation, and suggests ways to mitigate these issues.

Hierarchical cortical plasticity in congenital sight impairment

The paper examines hierarchical cortical plasticity in congenital sight impairment by comparing rod-only and typically developed visual systems, finding stability in early stages and compensatory reorganization in higher-order cortex.

Early life experience sets hard limits on motor learning as evidenced from artificial arm use

This study compares motor control of artificial arms between congenital one-handers and amputees, finding that early experience with an artificial arm improves motor control.

Neurocognitive consequences of hand augmentation

This study examines how motor augmentation with a robotic thumb affects brain representation of the biological hand, finding that training leads to changes in motor control, embodiment, and neural decoding of the augmented hand.
