Recent studies have shown that shape can be artificially coded by sound using sensory substitution algorithms and learned with behavioral training. This finding offers a unique opportunity to test intermodal generalizability of the LOC beyond the sensory modalities in which shape is naturally perceived. Therefore, we investigated the role of the LOC in processing of shape by examining neural activity associated with learning tactile-shape-coded auditory information. Nine blindfolded sighted people learned the tactile\u2013auditory relationship between raised abstract shapes and their corresponding shape-coded sounds over 5 d of training. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, subjects were scanned before and after training during a task in which they first listened to a shape-coded sound transformation, then touched an embossed shape, and responded whether or not the tactile stimulus matched the auditory stimulus in terms of shape. We found that behavioral scores improved after training and that the LOC was commonly activated during the auditory and tactile conditions both before and after training. However, no significant training-related change was observed in magnitude or size of LOC activity; rather, the auditory cortex and LOC showed strengthened functional connectivity after training. These findings suggest that the LOC is available to different sensory systems for shape processing and that auditory\u2013tactile sensory substitution training leads to neural changes allowing more direct or efficient access to this site by the auditory system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1523\/jneurosci.3399-10.2011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,25]],"date-time":"2011-05-25T16:49:08Z","timestamp":1306342148000},"page":"7848-7856","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Tactile\u2013Auditory
