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

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    FFA has notable reproducibility for face identification and is part of the objectrecognition system within the ventral visual stream (Kanwisher et_al, 1997; Spiridon et_al, 2006). The extended network for face recognition includes the amygdala and insula, where emotional responses to faces are processed, the anterior temporal lobe, which mediates aspects of biological information, and the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), where face-related semantic aspects are processed (Haxby et_al, 2000, 2002; Ishai et_al, 2005; Gobbini and Haxby, 2007; Ishai, 2008; Avidan et_al, 2014). Taken together, these results strengthen the emerging notion that brain specializations are . . .
