Research in multisensory processes has exploded over the last decade. Tremendous
advances have been made in a variety of fields from single-unit neural recordings and …

Virtual reality (VR) is becoming an increasingly important way to investigate sensory
processing. The converse is also true: in order to build good VR technologies, one needs an …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

Perceptual events derive their significance to an animal from their meaning about the world,
that is from the information they carry about their causes. The brain should thus be able to …

During motor adaptation the nervous system constantly uses error information to improve
future movements. Today's mainstream models simply assume that the nervous system …

Self-motion through an environment involves a composite of signals such as visual and
vestibular cues. Building upon previous results showing that visual and vestibular signals …

Many tasks can be carried out by using several sources of information. For example, an
object's size and shape can be judged based on visual as well as haptic cues. It has been …

Rapid reaching to a target is generally accurate but also contains random and systematic
error. Random errors result from noise in visual measurement, motor planning, and reach …

Participants presented with auditory, visual, or bi-sensory audio–visual stimuli in a speeded
discrimination task, fail to respond to the auditory component of the bi-sensory trials …

Inferring which signals have a common underlying cause, and hence should be integrated,
represents a primary challenge for a perceptual system dealing with multiple sensory inputs …
