Multisensory integration, sensory substitution and visual rehabilitation.
Sensory substitution has advanced remarkably over the past 35 years since first introduced to the scientific literature by Paul Bach-y-Rita. In this issue dedicated to his memory, we describe a collection of reviews that assess the current state of neuroscience research on sensory substitution, visual rehabilitation, and multisensory processes.
متن کاملDevelopment of Multisensory Integration: Transforming Sensory Input into Motor Output
By pooling and integrating signals from different sensory channels, specialized populations of ‘‘multisensory’’ neurons not only help to maximize the brain’s ability to detect and identify external events, but also help to initiate reactions to them. Although multisensory neurons are found in many areas of the brain, those in the midbrain (i.e., superior colliculus, SC) have been studied most e...
متن کاملInitiating the development of multisensory integration by manipulating sensory experience.
The multisensory integration capabilities of superior colliculus neurons emerge gradually during early postnatal life as a consequence of experience with cross-modal stimuli. Without such experience neurons become responsive to multiple sensory modalities but are unable to integrate their inputs. The present study demonstrates that neurons retain sensitivity to cross-modal experience well past ...
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...
