A multisensory perspective on object memory

PJ Matusz, MT Wallace, MM Murray - Neuropsychologia, 2017 - Elsevier
Traditional studies of memory and object recognition involved objects presented within a
single sensory modality (ie, purely visual or purely auditory objects). However, in naturalistic …

The COGs (context, object, and goals) in multisensory processing

S Ten Oever, V Romei, N van Atteveldt… - Experimental brain …, 2016 - Springer
Our understanding of how perception operates in real-world environments has been
substantially advanced by studying both multisensory processes and “top-down” control …

Involuntary orienting of attention to a sound desynchronizes the occipital alpha rhythm and improves visual perception

W Feng, VS Störmer, A Martinez, JJ McDonald… - Neuroimage, 2017 - Elsevier
Directing attention voluntarily to the location of a visual target results in an amplitude
reduction (desynchronization) of the occipital alpha rhythm (8–14 Hz), which is predictive of …

[HTML][HTML] Spatial localization of sound elicits early responses from occipital visual cortex in humans

C Campus, G Sandini, M Concetta Morrone, M Gori - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Much evidence points to an interaction between vision and audition at early cortical sites.
However, the functional role of these interactions is not yet understood. Here we show an …

Orienting spatial attention to sounds enhances visual processing

VS Störmer - Current opinion in psychology, 2019 - Elsevier
Highlights•Hearing a salient sound can attract visual-spatial attention to its
location.•Orienting to a sound's location enhances visual perception.•A peripheral sound …

Brain circuit–gene expression relationships and neuroplasticity of multisensory cortices in blind children

L Ortiz-Terán, I Diez, T Ortiz, DL Perez… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Sensory deprivation reorganizes neurocircuits in the human brain. The biological basis of
such neuroplastic adaptations remains elusive. In this study, we applied two complementary …

Visual cortex responds to sound onset and offset during passive listening

D Brang, J Plass, A Sherman… - Journal of …, 2022 - journals.physiology.org
Sounds enhance our ability to detect, localize, and respond to co-occurring visual targets.
Research suggests that sounds improve visual processing by resetting the phase of ongoing …

Somatosensory plasticity in pediatric cerebral palsy following constraint‐induced movement therapy

PJ Matusz, AP Key, S Gogliotti, J Pearson… - Neural …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Cerebral palsy (CP) is predominantly a disorder of movement, with evidence of sensory‐
motor dysfunction. CIMT1 is a widely used treatment for hemiplegic CP. However, effects of …

Task‐dependent spatial processing in the visual cortex

G Bertonati, MB Amadeo, C Campus… - Human Brain …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
To solve spatial tasks, the human brain asks for support from the visual cortices.
Nonetheless, representing spatial information is not fixed but depends on the reference …

[HTML][HTML] Stronger responses in the visual cortex of sighted compared to blind individuals during auditory space representation

C Campus, G Sandini, MB Amadeo, M Gori - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
It has been previously shown that the interaction between vision and audition involves early
sensory cortices. However, the functional role of these interactions and their modulation due …
