SUMMARY
The data demonstrate that auditory cortical areas are activated by speech, regardless of the mode of presentation (auditory or visual), and that cross-modal, visual-evoked activity in auditory cortex depends on stimulus type (i.e. speech vs. non-speech) in CI users. Cross-modal plasticity, whereby alternate sensory modalities "take over" a deprived sense`s cortical representation leading to enhanced perception of that sense, e_g heightened auditory acuity in blindness (Bavelier and Neville 2002), has been proposed as one factor that might limit speech understanding following implantation. Sentences had a set structure, e_g . . .
