Figure 6

Beta-band activity of sighted and congenitally blind participants. Topographies of beta-band activity (16–24 Hz, 400 to 600 ms) in the sighted (A) and blind (B) group, with uncrossed (a,b) and crossed hands (d,e) following attended (a,d) and unattended (b,e) stimuli. (c,f,g,h) Difference topographies for attention effects with uncrossed (c) and crossed (f) hands, and for posture effects following attended (g) and unattended (h) stimuli. (i) Topography of the interaction between attention and posture. Data are displayed as if stimuli always occurred on the anatomically right hand, so that the left hemisphere is contralateral to tactile stimulation in a skin-based reference frame, independent of posture.
