Gestalt laws of perceptual organization in an embedded figures task: evidence for hemispheric specialization.

abstract：:We have previously reported that an early-blind echolocating individual (EB) showed robust occipital activation when he identified distant, silent objects based on echoes from his tongue clicks (Thaler, Arnott, & Goodale, 2011). In the present study we investigated the extent to which echolocation activation in EB's o...
