Abstract
⺠We studied voice identity processing in congenitally blind individuals and sighted controls. ⺠Congenitally blind individuals showed superior voice learning than matched sighted controls. ⺠These behavioral benefits were accompanied by early ERP (N1) priming effects in the blind. ⺠Moreover, this and later ERP effects had a posteriorly shifted topography in blind individuals. ⺠We conclude that the neural processing of voices is both more efficient and reorganized following sensory deprivation.
