Superior-temporal ROI. Signal change relative to the resting fixation baseline was extracted from the superior-temporal region for deaf and hearing participants. The deaf participants had larger signal than hearing participants for each condition and had a larger difference between unimodal and bimodal signal. In contrast to the results from Heschl's gyrus, where somatosensory signal was greater than visual signal in the deaf participants in the superior-temporal region, there was no significant difference between unimodal visual and unimodal somatosensory signal change.
