The development of the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the study of
psychological functions has entered a new phase of sophistication. This is largely due to an …

Besides providing information on elementary properties of objects, like texture, roughness,
and softness, the sense of touch is also important in building a representation of object …

Our conscious perceptual experience relies on a hierarchical process involving integration
of low-level sensory encoding and higher-order sensory selection. 1 This hierarchical …

The sensory systems responsible for touch, vision, and hearing have traditionally been
regarded as mostly separate. Contrary to this dogma, recent work has shown that …

In recent decades, numerous structural brain imaging studies investigated purported
morphometric changes in early (EB) and late onset blindness (LB). The results of these …

The human middle-temporal region MT+ is highly specialized in processing visual motion.
However, recent studies have shown that this region is modulated by extraretinal signals …

The dexterous control of our grasping actions relies on the cooperative activation of many
brain areas. In the parietal lobe, 2 grasp-related areas collaborate to orchestrate an accurate …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over human primary somatosensory cortex (S1),
unlike over primary motor cortex (M1), does not produce an immediate, objective output …

Perception via different sensory modalities was traditionally believed to be supported by
largely separate brain systems. However, a growing number of studies demonstrate that the …

Upon early sensory deprivation, the remaining modalities often exhibit cross-modal
reorganization, such as primary auditory cortex (PAC) recruitment for visual motion …
