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 …

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 …

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

Research in multisensory processes has exploded over the last decade. Tremendous
advances have been made in a variety of fields from single-unit neural recordings and …

Perceptual decisions involve the accumulation of sensory evidence over time, a process that
is corrupted by noise [1]. Here, we extend the decision-making framework to crossmodal …

Robust perception requires that information from by our five different senses be combined at
some central level to produce a single unified percept of the world. Recent theory and …

After several decades of unimodal perceptual research, interest is turning increasingly to
cross-modal interactions. At a physiological level, the existence of bimodal cells is well …

There has been a huge growth of interest in the topic of multisensory perception over the
past half century. The majority of this research has focused on the spatial senses of vision …

It is well known that the detection thresholds for stationary auditory and visual signals are
lower if the signals are presented bimodally rather than unimodally, provided the signals …

We examined whether the detection of audio–visual temporal synchrony is determined by a
pre-attentive parallel process, or by an attentive serial process using a visual search …
