Due to epidemiological and social changes related the increase in average life expectancy, hospital users are characterized by elderly chronic comorbid patients who require recurrent hospitalizations often with disability outcomes. In this framework, an innovative clinical management hospitalization model is adequate answer systematically promote patient independence. Main features interdisciplinary integrated care pathways facing both disease biologically functionally diagnosed ICD ICF. The...

Abstract Partial visual deprivation from early monocular enucleation (the surgical removal of one eye within the first few years life) results in a number long‐term morphological adaptations adult cortical and subcortical visual, auditory, multisensory brain regions. In this study, we investigated whether also altered development white matter structure. Diffusion tensor imaging probabilistic tractography were performed to assess potential differences system participants who had undergone...

The medial geniculate body (MGB) plays a central role in auditory processing with both efferent and afferent tracts to primary cortex. People who have lost one eye early life enhanced sound localization, lack visual over dominance integrate information optimally, similar controls, despite taking longer localize unimodal stimuli. Compared people decreased lateral nuclei (LGN) volume as expected given the 50% deafferentation of system. However, LGN is larger than predicted contralateral...

People with one eye show altered sensory processing. Such changes might reflect a central re-weighting of information that impact on how multisensory cues are integrated. We assessed whether people who lost an early in life differ from controls respect to audiovisual integration. In order quantify the relative weightings assigned each system, participants were asked spatially localize events have been previously shown be optimally combined and perceptually fused point view location normal...

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the introduction of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions such as precautionary behaviours. current study used affective priming to evaluate attitudes vaccine-hesitant pro-vaccine participants. Explicitly, both groups rated their overall perception risk associated with contracting significantly lower compared necessary precautions adherence public health measures. Pro-vaccine participants higher During baseline measures, classified...

Introduction. Previously, we have shown that people with one eye enhanced sound localization (Hoover, Harris & Steeves, 2012, EBR) and lack the visual dominance commonly found in binocular patched viewing controls (Moro 2011, EBR). These results persist despite evidence their integration of auditory components multisensory events, when determining spatial location, is optimal (Moro, 2014, MSR). Currently, conducted three behavioural studies to further explore audiovisual compared controls....

Purpose: Similar to early blindness, monocular enucleation (the removal of one eye) in life results crossmodal behavioral and morphological adaptations. Previously it has been shown that partial visual deprivation from structural white matter changes throughout the system (Wong et al., 2018). The current study investigated auditory adults who have undergone compared binocular control participants. Methods: We reconstructed four audiovisual tracts interest using probabilistic tractography...

Previous research has shown that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may perceive the world differently. Superior performance been demonstrated on perceptual tasks involving detail recognition and visual search; however, deficits have also in such as motion perception attentional shifting. We investigated whether participants ASD demonstrate typical dominance when presented an audio-visual event. The current experiments measure speeded detection discrimination of auditory,...

Observing motion in one modality can influence the perceived direction of a second (dynamic capture). For example observing square moving depth perception sound to increase loudness. The current study investigates whether people who have lost eye are susceptible audiovisual dynamic capture plane similar binocular and eye-patched viewing control participants. Partial deprivation visual system from loss early life results changes remaining intact senses such as hearing. Linearly expanding or...

We investigate whether the loss of one eye leads to enhanced multisensory processing. Previously, we measured speed detection and discrimination auditory, visual, audiovisual targets presented as a stream paired objects familiar sounds in people with compared controls viewing binocularly or patched. All participants were equally able detect presence bimodal targets; however, when discriminating between unimodal targets, both control groups demonstrated Colavita visual dominance effect,...

This paper provides recommendations for neurorehabilitative research informed by insights from critical disability studies (CDS) and a study that tested an augmented technology prototype.The methodology combines reflection, feminist science CDS to analyze how neurorehabilitation conceptualize notions of cure. It offers reconciling the conflicting ideologies cure operate within research.The prototype acted as kind virtual reality hope machine tapped into different emotions language games...

Abstract The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in the enforcement of national public health safety measures including precautionary behaviours such as border closures, movement restrictions, total or partial lockdowns, social distancing, and face mask mandates order to reduce spread this disease. current study uses affective priming, an indirect behavioural measure implicit attitude, evaluate COVID-19 attitudes. Explicitly, participants rated their overall risk...

Blindness caused by early vision loss results in complete visual deprivation and subsequent changes the use of remaining intact senses. We have also observed adaptive plasticity case partial deprivation. The removal one eye, through unilateral eye enucleation, is a unique model for examining consequences binocularity. Partial system from life behavioral structural senses, namely auditory audiovisual systems. In current study we functional neuroimaging data to relate function behavior this...

Introduction. We have previously shown that people who lost one eye early in life enhanced sound localization (Hoover et al., 2011) and lack visual dominance (Moro & Steeves, compared to binocular eye-patched viewing controls. People with integrate auditory information optimally, similar controls, despite taking longer localize unimodal stimuli (Moro, Harris 2013). Structurally, decreased lateral geniculate nuclei volume (LGN; thalamic relay station). However, this decrease is less severe...

The ability to identify people is essential for everyday social interactions. It can be quickly achieved based on identity information from cues such as a person's face and the sound of their voice. We asked how with one eye, who have reduced visual input altered auditory (Hoover, Harris & Steeves, 2012, EBR) audiovisual processing (Moro 2011, EBR), will use voice person recognition. investigated (face voice) object (car horn) recognition using an old/new paradigm. Participants were...
