About Ella Striem-Amit

I am interested in the balance between innate brain and cognitive organization and experience-dependent plasticity. My primary research focuses on studying adults with specific sensory deprivation (born with blindness, deafness or without hands) to learn how selective sensory experiences shape their sensory, motor and cognitive systems. These models serve to assess the roles of critical developmental periods, compensatory cross-modal plasticity and sensory-independent (a-modal) processes in the human brain.See more: https://samp-lab.facultysite.georgetown.edu/
