Understanding brain plasticity during development is essential to revealing fundamental properties of how the brain responds to changes in sensory processing throughout the lifespan. The proposed innovative studies will permit hearing, deafness, and hearing restoration to be examined within the same subject. Revealing how the auditory cortex of hearing subjects processes sound and how this same region processes sound in deaf subjects following the activation of the auditory pathways with a cochlear implant will enable development of appropriate strategies that may increase brain plasticity and help subjects overcome sensory losses including deafness, blindness, or loss of a limb.

了解大脑在发育过程中的可塑性对于揭示大脑如何在整个生命周期中对感觉处理变化做出反应的基本特性至关重要。 拟议的创新研究将允许在同一主题中检查听力，耳聋和听力恢复。 揭示听力受试者的听觉皮层如何处理声音，以及在使用人工耳蜗激活听觉通路后，失聪受试者的听觉皮层如何处理声音，将有助于开发适当的策略，这些策略可能会增加大脑的可塑性，并帮助受试者克服感觉丧失，包括耳聋，失明或肢体丧失。
