“Neural Activity in Visual-Processing Areas of the Brain in Congenitally Blind People”





Why Congenitally Blind People Show Activity in Visual-Processing Areas of
the Brain




about the study conducted.

The study, which was published in the journal Brain, looked at the brains of people who are congenitally blind and found that they have increased activity in visual-processing areas of the brain.

The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Utah and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and it involved 18 congenitally blind people and 18 people who are not blind.

The researchers used a technique called Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure the brain activity of the participants.

They found that the congenitally blind people had increased activity in visual-processing areas of the brain, compared to the people who are not blind.

The study authors say this suggests that the congenitally blind people may be better than the non-blind people at adapting to changes in their visual environment.

They say this could be important, because it could mean that the congenitally blind people are better at using their other senses to compensate for their lack of vision.

The study authors say this is the first time that brain activity has been measured in people who are congenitally blind, and they say the results could help scientists better understand how blindness affects the brain.
