Multisensory perception constrains the formation of object categories: a review of evidence from sensory-driven and predictive processes on categorical decisions
Although object categorization is a fundamental cognitive ability, it is also a complex process
going beyond the perception and organization of sensory stimulation. Here we review …

Extensive childhood experience with Pokémon suggests eccentricity drives organization of visual cortex
The functional organization of human high-level visual cortex, such as the face-and place-
selective regions, is strikingly consistent across individuals. An unanswered question in …

[HTML][HTML] The dual-loop model for combining external and internal worlds in our brain
Intelligible communication with others as well as covert conscious thought requires us to

Dynamics and hierarchical encoding of non-compact acoustic categories in auditory and frontal cortex
Categorical perception is a fundamental cognitive function enabling animals to flexibly
assign sounds into behaviorally relevant categories. This study investigates the nature of …

Effects of noise on the behavioral and neural categorization of speech
GM Bidelman, LC Bush, AM Boudreaux - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2020 - frontiersin.org
We investigated whether the categorical perception (CP) of speech might also provide a
mechanism that aids its perception in noise. We varied signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)[clear, 0 …

[HTML][HTML] Neural dynamics underlying the acquisition of distinct auditory category structures
Despite the multidimensional and temporally fleeting nature of auditory signals we quickly
learn to assign novel sounds to behaviorally relevant categories. The neural systems …

Active sound localization sharpens spatial tuning in human primary auditory cortex
K van der Heijden, JP Rauschecker… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Spatial hearing sensitivity in humans is dynamic and task-dependent, but the mechanisms in
human auditory cortex that enable dynamic sound location encoding remain unclear. Using …
