Spatial ventriloquism refers to the phenomenon that a visual stimulus such as a flash can
attract the perceived location of a spatially discordant but temporally synchronous sound. An …

Touch is bound to the skin–that is, to the boundaries of the body. Yet, the activity of neurons
in primary somatosensory cortex just mirrors the spatial distribution of the sensors across the …

Background We physically interact with external stimuli when they occur within a limited
space immediately surrounding the body, ie, Peripersonal Space (PPS). In the primate brain …

Cultural narratives on disability have received much attention over the past few decades. In
contexts of poverty, limited information and everyday challenges associated with having, or …

At any moment in time, streams of information reach the brain through the different senses.
Given this wealth of noisy information, it is essential that we select information of relevance …

An ability to integrate information provided by different sensory modalities is a fundamental
feature of neurons in many brain areas. Because visual and auditory inputs often originate …

In the ventriloquism aftereffect, brief exposure to a consistent spatial disparity between
auditory and visual stimuli leads to a subsequent shift in subjective sound localization …

Unexpected task-irrelevant changes in the auditory or visual sensory channels have been
shown to capture attention in an ineluctable manner and distract participants away from …

The well‐known ventriloquist illusion arises when sounds are mislocalized towards a
synchronous but spatially discrepant visual stimulus, and a similar effect of touch on audition …

Studies on multisensory perception often focus on simplistic conditions in which one single
stimulus is presented per modality. Yet, in everyday life, we usually encounter multiple …
