Deaf people develop sharper peripheral vision through brain rewiring, study reveals

TL;DR

Summary:
- A study published in the journal *PLOS ONE* demonstrates that individuals born deaf possess superior peripheral vision compared to hearing individuals.
- Researchers identified that this sensory enhancement is the result of neuroplasticity, where the brain "rewires" itself to reallocate cortical resources—specifically those typically dedicated to auditory processing—to enhance visual processing in the peripheral field.
