Neurophysiological responses following left index finger stimulation. a The source traces of MEG data were estimated across the cortical surface and extracted from regions of interest in thalamus, S1 and V1 in congenitally blind (CB) and sighted control (SC) subjects. The electrocutaneous finger stimulation occurred at 0 ms. Shading indicates the standard error of the mean (SEM) for each group. The significant S1 response in CB and SC and the early V1 response in CB only are indicated by black arrows. b Cortical activations between 35 and 50 ms following left index finger stimulation were stronger in CB vs. SC subjects over contralateral parieto-occipital regions (p < 0.05 uncorrected, permutation test with 5000 randomizations, t-test unequal variance).
