| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
How visual experience in early life affects the development of the ability to understand other’s behavior? In the field of developmental psychology, vision is considered to be critical. By contrast, I showed that born blind individuals can recognize simple hand actions. Moreover, the common brain regions underlying the recognition of hand shapes are activated between vision and touch. Activation of such regions were observed in both blind and sighted individuals. These results indicate that the brain networks for the recognition of other’s actions can partially develop even in the absence of early visual experience.
