It has long been established that the occipital cortex of early blind animals and humans is activated by nonvisual stimuli (Rauschecker 1995)
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we have demonstrated recently that the middle occipital gyrus (MOG) of early blind humans retains its function in spatial localization and is activated in auditory and tactile spatial tasks (Renier et al 2010)
Sound localization performance was directly correlated with amount of activation in MOG
