It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

For more than 100 years we have known that the visual field is mapped onto the surface of
visual cortex, imposing an inherently spatial reference frame on visual information …

In psychological experiments, participants are typically instructed to respond as fast as
possible without sacrificing accuracy. How they interpret this instruction and, consequently …

Despite 2 centuries of research, the question of whether attending to a sensory modality
speeds the perception of stimuli in that modality has yet to be resolved. The authors highlight …

Regardless of the fact that emotions are usually recognized by combining facial and vocal
expressions, the multisensory nature of affect perception has scarcely been investigated. In …

The objective of this review is to examine and evaluate recent findings on cognitive
functioning (in particular imagery processes) in individuals with congenital visual …

Blindness often results in the adaptive neural reorganization of the remaining modalities,
producing sharper auditory and haptic behavioral performance. Yet, non-visual modalities …

Recent studies suggest that human infants can transfer information gleaned from one sense
to another (eg, Streri 2003; Streri et al. 2004). For example, 1-month-old infants can visually …

Animal studies have shown that visual deprivation during the first months of life permanently
impairs the interactions between sensory systems. Here we report an analogous effect for …

Multisensory spatial processes are fundamental for efficient interaction with the world. They
include not only the integration of spatial cues across sensory modalities, but also the …
