explores brain organization and experience-dependent plasticity by studying people
born blind, deaf, or without hands, using behavioral, computational, and fMRI
state-of-the-art analytical techniques. The successful applicant will work on the
topic of motor plasticity in people born without hands. Specifically, the
project will test <a name="_Hlk128031430">how people born without hands engage
the motor hierarchy to perform everyday actions with their feet. A large
dataset has already been collected to address these questions, and additional data
can be collected. </a></span></p>
