Several experiments presented here demonstrated that touch specifically interacts with vision during binocular rivalry and that the interaction likely occurs at early stages of visual processing, probably V1 or V2. Another line of research also presented here demonstrated that human adult visual cortex retains an unexpected high degree of experience-dependent plasticity by showing that a brief period of monocular deprivation produced important perceptual consequences on the dynamics of binocular rivalry, reflecting a homeostatic plasticity. In summary, this work shows that binocular rivalry is a powerful tool to investigate different aspects of visual perception and can be used to reveal unexpected properties of early visual cortex. 410 0$aPremio Tesi di dottorato. 606 $aBinocular rivalry 615 0$aBinocular rivalry. 676 $a612.82336 700 $aLunghi$b Claudia$01260994 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571712703321 996 $aEarly cross-modal interactions and adult human visual cortical plasticity revealed by binocular rivalry$92924831 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04273nam 2200757Ia 450 001 9910958101303321 005 20251117065323.0 010 $a1-282-86680-X 010 $a9786612866807 010 $a0-7735-7635-5 024 7 $a10.1515/9780773576353 035 $a(CKB)2670000000080741 035 $a(EBL)3271049 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000529783 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11343422 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000529783 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10560726 035 $a(PQKB)10565519 035 $a(CaBNvSL)slc00225660 035 $a(CEL)432900 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3332050 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10558999 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL286680 035 $a(OCoLC)923234053 035 $a(DE-B1597)655420 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780773576353 035 $a(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/kx53mg 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3332050 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000080741 100 $a20120328d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aInnovation, science, environment, special edition $echarting sustainable development in Canada, 1987-2007 /$fedited by Glen Toner and James Meadowcroft 205 $aSpecial 210 $aMontreal $cPublished for The School of Public Policy, Carleton University by McGill-Queen's University Press$dc2009 215 $a1 online resource (266 pages) 225 1 $aInnovation, science, environment series ;$v4 311 08$a0-7735-3533-0 311 08$a0-7735-3532-2 327 $a1 Engaging with Sustainable Development: Setting the Canadian Experience in Context / James Meadowcroft and Glen Toner -- 2 Why Aren't We There Yet?
