Conscious experiences involve subjective qualities, such as colours, sounds, smells and
emotions. In this Perspective, we argue that these subjective qualities can be understood in …

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 …

Multiple learning processes contribute to successful goal-directed actions in the face of
changing physiological states, biomechanical constraints, and environmental contexts …

Recent anatomical, physiological, and neuroimaging findings indicate multisensory
convergence at early, putatively unisensory stages of cortical processing. The objective of …

The article reviews evidence for sensitive periods in the sensory systems and considers their
neuronal mechanisms from the viewpoint of the system's neuroscience. It reviews the …

Some fifty years after the first physiological studies of auditory attention, the field is now
ripening, with exciting recent insights into the psychophysics, psychology, and neural basis …

To perceive the auditory and visual aspects of a physical event as occurring simultaneously,
the brain must adjust for differences between the two modalities in both physical …

Spatial ventriloquism refers to the phenomenon that a visual stimulus such as a flash can
attract the perceived location of a spatially discordant but temporally synchronous sound. An …

Several studies have demonstrated enhanced auditory processing in the blind, suggesting
that they compensate their visual impairment in part with greater sensitivity of the other …

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 …
