The discovery of rhythmic auditory–motor entrainment in clinical populations was a historical
breakthrough in demonstrating for the first time a neurological mechanism linking music to …

Our perceptual systems continuously process sensory inputs from different modalities and
organize these streams of information such that our subjective representation of the outside …

While the auditory and visual systems each provide distinct information to our brain, they
also work together to process and prioritize input to address ever-changing conditions …

Directing attention voluntarily to the location of a visual target results in an amplitude
reduction (desynchronization) of the occipital alpha rhythm (8–14 Hz), which is predictive of …

Clear evidence demonstrated a supramodal organization of sensory cortices with
multisensory processing occurring even at early stages of information encoding. Within this …

Spatial attention can be oriented endogenously, based on current task goals, or
exogenously, triggered by salient events in the environment. Based upon literature …

Early visual deprivation impacts negatively on spatial bisection abilities. Recently, an early
(50–90 ms) ERP response, selective for sound position in space, has been observed in the …

Much evidence points to an interaction between vision and audition at early cortical sites.
However, the functional role of these interactions is not yet understood. Here we show an …

This article reviews a series of experiments that combined behavioral and
electrophysiological recording techniques to explore the hypothesis that salient sounds …

Highlights•Hearing a salient sound can attract visual-spatial attention to its
location.•Orienting to a sound's location enhances visual perception.•A peripheral sound …
