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 …

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 …

During the first years of life, sensory modalities communicate with each other. This process
is fundamental for the development of unisensory and multisensory skills. The absence of …

Recent studies suggest that human infants can transfer information gleaned from one sense
to another (eg, Streri 2003; Streri et al. 2004). For example, 1-month-old infants can visually …

A long-standing question, going back at least 300 years to Berkeley's famous essay, is how
sensory systems become calibrated with physical reality. We recently showed [1] that …

It is not clear what role visual information plays in the development of space perception. It
has previously been shown that in absence of vision, both the ability to judge orientation in …

Snake robots have shown a great potential for operations in confined workplaces that are
less accessible or dangerous to human workers, such as the in-pipe inspection. However …

A recent study has shown that congenitally blind adults, who have never had visual
experience, are impaired on an auditory spatial bisection task (Gori, Sandini, Martinoli, & …

Audio description (AD) provides access to audiovisual materials for people with visual
impairments and blindness (BVI) and offers a richer and more detailed understanding and …

We investigated the effects of indirect, ambient visual information on haptic spatial memory.
Using touch only, participants first learned an array of objects arranged in a scene and were …
