For thousands of years science philosophers have been impressed by how effectively the
senses work together to enhance the salience of biologically meaningful events. However …

Although much traditional sensory research has studied each sensory modality in isolation,
there has been a recent explosion of interest in causal interplay between different senses …

A visual scene is perceived in terms of visual objects. Similar ideas have been proposed for
the analogous case of auditory scene analysis, although their hypothesized neural …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

When combining information across different senses, humans need to flexibly select cues of
a common origin while avoiding distraction from irrelevant inputs. The brain could solve this …

The fundamental perceptual unit in hearing is the'auditory object'. Similar to visual objects,
auditory objects are the computational result of the auditory system's capacity to detect …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Human observers combine multiple sensory cues synergistically to achieve greater
perceptual sensitivity, but little is known about the underlying neuronal mechanisms. We …

Our brain integrates the information provided by the different sensory modalities into a
coherent percept, and recent studies suggest that this process is not restricted to higher …

Responses of neurons that integrate multiple sensory inputs are traditionally characterized
in terms of a set of empirical principles. However, a simple computational framework that …
