Multisensory Integration and Child Neurodevelopment
A considerable number of cognitive processes depend on the integration of multisensory information. The brain integrates this information, providing a complete representation of our surrounding world and giving us the ability to react optimally to the environment. Infancy is a period of great changes in brain structure and function that are reflected by the increase of processing capacities of ...
متن کاملLab 4: Multisensory integration
We first present subjects with visual stimuli v: a low contrast Gaussian blob, very quickly flashed at some position in space xv. The subjects are asked to localize the stimulus position x. We find that the subjects estimates are unbiased on average but display some variability from trial to trial. Their estimates P (x|v) can be modelled using a gaussian distribution with mean xv and variabilit...
متن کاملFacilitation of multisensory integration
Whenever two or more sensory inputs are highly consistent in one or more dimension(s), observers will be more likely to perceive them as a single multisensory event rather than as separate unimodal events. For audiovisual speech, but not for other noncommunicative events, participants exhibit a “unity effect,” whereby they are less sensitive to temporal asynchrony (i.e., that are more likely to...
متن کاملChild neurodevelopment in a Bolivian mining city.
This study evaluates the neurodevelopment of children living near contaminated mining industries during their first year of life. Participants from the city of Oruro (Bolivia) were prospectively recruited during pregnancy. Follow-up occurred between May 2007 and November 2009. Information about the socioeconomic status and medical history of the pregnant women were collected using questionnaire...
متن کاملMultisensory integration during motor planning.
When planning goal-directed reaches, subjects must estimate the position of the arm by integrating visual and proprioceptive signals from the sensory periphery. These integrated position estimates are required at two stages of motor planning: first to determine the desired movement vector, and second to transform the movement vector into a joint-based motor command. We quantified the contributi...
