Research into the development of sensory structures in the brains of blind or visually-impaired individuals has opened a window into important ways in which the mind works. In these individuals, the part of the brain that is usually devoted to processing visual information is given over to increased processing of the touch and hearing sense.

This book is an attempt to bring together the disparate threads of research into a single volume, appropriate for all three markets.
