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 …

One of the most exciting recent findings in neuroscience has been the capacity for neural
plasticity in adult humans and animals. Studies of perceptual learning have provided key …

Multisensory spatial processes are fundamental for efficient interaction with the world. They
include not only the integration of spatial cues across sensory modalities, but also the …

Ventriloquism, the illusion that a voice appears to come from the moving mouth of a puppet
rather than from the actual speaker, is one of the classic examples of multisensory …

Localization of sound sources is a considerable computational challenge for the human
brain. Whereas the visual system can process basic spatial information in parallel, the …

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 …

Perception adapts to mismatching multisensory information, both when different cues
appear simultaneously and when they appear sequentially. While both multisensory …

It has been hypothesized that crossmodal recalibration plays a crucial role for the
development of multisensory integration capabilities [1]. To test the developmental trajectory …

Vision usually provides the most accurate and reliable information about the location of
objects in our environment and thus serves as a reference for recalibrating auditory spatial …

Our senses often receive conflicting multisensory information, which our brain reconciles by
adaptive recalibration. A classic example is the ventriloquism aftereffect, which emerges …
