During the first years of life, sensory modalities communicate with each other. This process
is fundamental for the development of unisensory and multisensory skills. The absence of …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

While the definition of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) does not include any explicit criteria
concerning difficulties of time perception or management, there is growing evidence of …

Central tendency, the tendency of judgements of quantities (lengths, durations etc.) to
gravitate towards their mean, is one of the most robust perceptual effects. A Bayesian …

An emerging hypothesis postulates that internal noise is a key factor influencing perceptual
abilities in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Given fundamental and inescapable effects of …

Adults combine information from different sensory modalities to estimate object properties
such as size or location. This process is optimal in that (i) sensory information is weighted …

The environment has a temporal structure and knowing when a stimulus will appear
translates into increased perceptual performance. Here we investigated how the human …

Humans are constantly influenced by others' behavior and opinions. Of importance, social
influence among humans is shaped by reciprocity: we follow more the advice of someone …

Observers in perceptual tasks are often reported to combine multiple sensory cues in a
weighted average that improves precision—in some studies, approaching statistically …

Sensory information is inherently ambiguous. The brain disambiguates this information by
anticipating or predicting the sensory environment based on prior knowledge. Pellicano and …
