The ventriloquist illusion as a tool to study multisensory processing: An update

P Bruns - Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Ventriloquism, the illusion that a voice appears to come from the moving mouth of a puppet
rather than from the actual speaker, is one of the classic examples of multisensory …

Development and experience-dependence of multisensory spatial processing

P Bruns, B Röder - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 - cell.com
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 …

Shared neural underpinnings of multisensory integration and trial-by-trial perceptual recalibration in humans

H Park, C Kayser - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
Perception adapts to mismatching multisensory information, both when different cues
appear simultaneously and when they appear sequentially. While both multisensory …

Alpha activity reflects the magnitude of an individual bias in human perception

L Grabot, C Kayser - Journal of Neuroscience, 2020 - jneurosci.org
Biases in sensory perception can arise from both experimental manipulations and personal
trait-like features. These idiosyncratic biases and their neural underpinnings are often …

The neurophysiological basis of the trial-wise and cumulative ventriloquism aftereffects

H Park, C Kayser - Journal of Neuroscience, 2021 - jneurosci.org
Our senses often receive conflicting multisensory information, which our brain reconciles by
adaptive recalibration. A classic example is the ventriloquism aftereffect, which emerges …

Repeated but not incremental training enhances cross-modal recalibration.

P Bruns, B Röder - Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human …, 2019 - psycnet.apa.org
Sensory representations are constantly realigned. For instance, in the ventriloquism
aftereffect, short exposure to audiovisual stimuli with a consistent spatial disparity results in …

Feedback modulates audio-visual spatial recalibration

A Kramer, B Röder, P Bruns - Frontiers in integrative neuroscience, 2020 - frontiersin.org
In an ever-changing environment, crossmodal recalibration is crucial to maintain precise
and coherent spatial estimates across different sensory modalities. Accordingly, it has been …

Rescaling perceptual hand maps by visual‐tactile recalibration

X Fuchs, T Heed - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
After concurrent visual and tactile stimuli have been presented repeatedly with a spatial
offset, unisensory tactile stimuli, too, are perceived with a spatial bias towards the previously …

Differential effects of the temporal and spatial distribution of audiovisual stimuli on cross‐modal spatial recalibration

P Bruns, HR Dinse, B Röder - European Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Visual input constantly recalibrates auditory spatial representations. Exposure to
isochronous audiovisual stimuli with a fixed spatial disparity typically results in a subsequent …

Toward a unified theory of the reference frame of the ventriloquism aftereffect

P Lokša, N Kopčo - Trends in Hearing, 2023 - journals.sagepub.com
The ventriloquism aftereffect (VAE), observed as a shift in the perceived locations of sounds
after audio-visual stimulation, requires reference frame (RF) alignment since hearing and …
