Cross-Modal Functional Reorganization of Visual and Auditory Cortex in Adult Cochlear Implant Users Identified with fNIRS

Figure 4

Correlations between the cross-modal reorganizations and the speech performance. (a) ReorgAC_HbO and ReorgVC plotted separately for each CI user according to their speech performance. (b) Correlation between the difference of ReorgAC_HbO and the ReorgVC and the test score for OLSA speech in noise (OLSA_n). Note that the lower signal to noise ratio threshold for OLSA_n test represents a better performance. (c) Correlation performed with NH controls. The -axis is the ReorgVC and the -axis is the OLSA_n test score.
