UK study shows early deafness rewires brain for enhanced peripheral vision

UK researchers publish findings on deafness-related visual rewiring in PNAS

A team of psychologists and neuroscientists in the UK published a brain-imaging study showing that adults with early, profound deafness devote more of their early visual system to peripheral vision. Using structural and functional MRI on 16 deaf adults and 16 hearing controls, they mapped neural response across visual fields and found the reorganization occurs at the lateral geniculate nucleus, before signals reach the brain's main vision center.

“Without sound cues, deaf people use vision as an 'early warning system' for peripheral events.”
