The brain has a large capacity for automatic simultaneous processing and integration of
sensory information. Combining information from different sensory modalities facilitates our …

Most auditory events in nature are accompanied by non-auditory signals, such as a view of
the speaker's face during face-to-face communication or the vibration of a string during a …

Many standardized measures of cognition include items that must be seen or heard.
Nevertheless, it is not uncommon to overlook the possible effects of sensory impairment (s) …

Stimuli are processed concurrently and across multiple sensory inputs. Here we directly
compared the effect of multisensory integration (MSI) on reaction time across three paired …

Objective: Using a dual task paradigm, two experiments were conducted to:(1) quantify the
listening effort that young and older adults expend to recognize speech in noise when …

Hearing loss is associated with difficulties in understanding speech, especially under
adverse listening conditions. In these situations, seeing the speaker improves speech …

Recent studies provide evidence for changes in audiovisual perception as well as for
adaptive cross-modal auditory cortex plasticity in older individuals with high-frequency …

Alterations of brain structure and functional connectivity have been described in patients
with hearing impairments due to distinct pathogenesis; however, the influence of unilateral …

Children often have difficulty understanding speech in challenging listening environments.
In the absence of peripheral hearing loss, these speech perception difficulties may arise …

Previous work compellingly demonstrates a crossmodal plastic reorganization of auditory
cortex in deaf individuals, leading to increased neural responses to non-auditory sensory …
