The brain needs to identify redundant sensory signals in order to integrate them optimally.
The identification process, referred to as causal inference, depends on the spatial and …

Humans are equipped with multiple sensory channels that provide both redundant and
complementary information about the objects and events in the world around them. A …

In a basic cursorcontrol task, the perceived positions of the hand and the cursor are biased
towards each other. We recently found that this phenomenon conforms to the reliability …

Real-world phenomena involve complex interactions between multiple signal modalities. As
a consequence, humans are used to integrate at each instant perceptions from all their …

The space immediately surrounding our bodies, ie, peripersonal space (PPS), is a critical
area for the interaction with the external world, be it to deal with imminent threat or to attain …

Recent studies have proposed that some cross-modal illusions might be expressed in what
were previously thought of as sensory-specific brain areas. Therefore, one interesting …

The CyberWalk treadmill is the first truly omnidirectional treadmill of its size that allows for
near natural walking through arbitrarily large Virtual Environments. The platform represents …

The brain integrates incoming sensory signals to a degree that depends on the signals'
redundancy. Redundancy—which is commonly high when signals originate from a common …

Perception of the external world is based on the integration of inputs from different sensory
modalities. Recent experimental findings suggest that this phenomenon is present in lower …

Normative Bayesian models of perceptual inference define how observers should combine
uncertain information across multiple sensory channels and prior knowledge to obtain the …
