Despite not recording directly from neural cells, the surface electromyogram (EMG) signal
contains information on the neural drive to muscles, ie, the spike trains of motor neurons …

In many everyday situations, our senses are bombarded by many different unisensory
signals at any given time. To gain the most veridical, and least variable, estimate of …

Sound symbolism refers to an association between phonemes and stimuli containing
particular perceptual and/or semantic elements (eg, objects of a certain size or shape) …

Our representation of the physical world requires judgments of magnitudes, such as
loudness, distance, or time. Interestingly, magnitude estimates are often not veridical but …

Adaptive behavior in a complex, dynamic, and multisensory world poses some of the most
fundamental computational challenges for the brain, notably inference, decision-making …

Understanding of the brain and the principles governing neural processing requires theories
that are parsimonious, can account for a diverse set of phenomena, and can make testable …

Studies of learning, and in particular perceptual learning, have focused on learning of stimuli
consisting of a single sensory modality. However, our experience in the world involves …

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 …

The presence of complementary information across multiple sensory or motor modalities
during learning, referred to as multimodal enrichment, can markedly benefit learning …

The map** of number onto space is fundamental to measurement and mathematics.
However, the map** of young children, unschooled adults, and adults under attentional …
