Monography on deafness (edited volume)

Introductory textbook on

Neuroprosthetics

A new concept of crossmodal plasticity presented, suggesting that it represents a dynamic and reversible process driven by top-down influences from multimodal areas. It shows up in functional connectivity in absence of large-scale structural rewiring.
