Face shape processing <i>via</i> visual-to-auditory sensory substitution activates regions within the face processing networks in the absence of visual experience.

While the direct contrast between trained faces and hand gestures did not yield any preference within the ventral visual stream, ROI analyses showed a trend for a preference in the blind right ventral stream for faces, as faces activated it the most, followed by hand gestures and words ( Supplementary Figure 3G ), similarly to the haptic domain ( Murty et al., 2020 ).
