Multisensory Integration: A Functional Role for Inter-Area Synchronization?

Multisensory Integration: A Functional Role for Inter-Area Synchronization?

It has been suggested that synchronization of neural activity in distinct areas of the brain is important in the 'perceptual binding' of the various features relating to a specific object. A recent study has provided new evidence that inter-area synchronization is important in multisensory integration.

Multisensory Integration: Strategies for Synchronization

Recent studies have shown that our ability to match the timing of inputs from objects that can be both seen and heard is highly adaptable and takes into account target depth and the relatively slow speed of sound.

Multisensory Integration: A Late Bloomer

Under many circumstances, human adults integrate information from different sensory modalities, such as vision and hearing, in a statistically optimal fashion. New results suggest that optimal multisensory integration only develops in middle childhood.

Assessing Multisensory Integration with Additive Factors and Functional Mri

The topic of this presentation is the use of additive-factor designs in combination with functional MRI to assess multisensory integration. Unisensory and multisensory stimuli were presented across two different pairings of sensory systems, audio-visual (AV) and visuohaptic (VH). In addition to stimulus modality, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was included as an additive factor. Previous research ...
