Successful outcomes of cochlear implantation in long-term unilateral deafness: brain plasticity?

abstract：:Sound localization can be affected by vision; in the ventriloquism effect, sounds that are hard to localize within hearing become mislocalized toward the location of concurrent visual events. Here we tested whether spatial attention is drawn to the illusory location of a ventriloquized sound. The study exploited our p...
