The discovery of the peptide hormone ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth
hormone secretagogue (GHS) receptor,, yielded the surprising result that the principal site of …

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 …

Integration of information from multiple senses is fundamental to perception and cognition,
but when and where this is accomplished in the brain is not well understood. This study …

Multisensory integration and crossmodal attention have a large impact on how we perceive
the world. Therefore, it is important to know under what circumstances these processes take …

We investigated the ability of salient yet task-irrelevant stimuli to capture attention in two
visual search experiments. Participants were presented with circular search arrays that …

Neurophysiological studies have shown in animals that a sudden sound enhanced
perceptual processing of subsequent visual stimuli. In the present study, we explored the …

We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to evaluate the role of attention in the integration of
visual and auditory features of multisensory objects. This was done by contrasting the ERPs …

This book is a succinct introduction to the orienting of attention. Richard Wright and
Lawrence Ward describe the covert orienting literature clearly and concisely, illustrating it …

To perceive real-world objects and events, we need to integrate several stimulus features
belonging to different sensory modalities. Although the neural mechanisms and behavioural …

We test the hypothesis that motivational and cognitive processes are linked by a specific
neural system to reach maximal efficiency. We studied six normal subjects performing a …
