Real‐world objects approaching or passing by an observer often generate visual, auditory,
and tactile signals with different onsets and durations. Prompt detection and avoidance of an …

An object's motion relative to an observer can confer ethologically meaningful information.
Approaching or looming stimuli can signal threats/collisions to be avoided or prey to be …

Approaching or looming signals are often related to extremely relevant environmental
events (eg threats or collisions) making these signals critical for survival. However, the …

Detecting a looming object and its imminent collision is imperative to survival. For most
humans, it is a fundamental aspect of daily activities such as driving, road crossing and …

The integration of information across different sensory modalities is known to be dependent
upon the statistical characteristics of the stimuli to be combined. For example, the spatial and …

In spite of accumulating evidence for the spatial rule governing cross-modal interaction
according to the spatial consistency of stimuli, it is still unclear whether 3D spatial …

Detection and avoidance of impending obstacles is crucial to preventing head and body
injuries in daily life. To safely avoid obstacles, locations of objects approaching the body …

Functional neuroimaging studies consistently report that the visual perception of faces and
bodies strongly activates regions within ventral occipitotemporal cortex (VOTC) and, in …

Real-world scenes usually contain a set of cluttered and yet contextually related objects.
Here we used fMRI to investigate where and how contextually related multiple objects were …

Anticipating physical contact with objects in the environment is a key component of efficient
motor performance. Peripersonal neurons are thought to play a determinant role in these …
