In everyday life, we continuously and effortlessly integrate the multiple sensory inputs from objects in motion. For instance, the sound and the visual percept of vehicles in traffic provide us with complementary information about the location and motion of vehicles. Here, we used high-density electrical mapping and local auto-regressive average (LAURA) source estimation to study the integratio...

Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become plugged with cells and sebum. This mixture of sebum can allow Cutibacterium acnes bacteria live on the to grow in follicles, causing swelling, redness, pain, pimples most teenagers know well. Fortunately, several OTC medications are available heal existing lesions, minimize new prevent scarring.Acne tee...

Modal collapse arguments are all the rage in certain philosophical circles as of late. The purport to show that classical theism entails absurdly fatalistic conclusion everything exists necessarily. My first aim this paper is bold: put an end action-based modal against theism. To accomplish this, I articulate ‘Simple Collapse Argument’ and then characterize defend Tomaszewski’s criticism thereo...

Statistical learning, the ability to extract regularities from input (e.g., in language), is likely supported by learners’ prior expectations about how component units co-occur. In this study, we investigated adults’ experience with sublexical their native language influences performance on an empirical learning task. Forty German-speaking adults completed a speech repetition task which they re...

Several studies have shown that taste-responsive cells in the brainstem taste nuclei of rodents respond to sensory qualities other than gustation. Such data suggest that cells in the classical gustatory brainstem may be better tuned to respond to stimuli that engage multiple sensory modalities than to stimuli that are purely gustatory. Here, we test this idea by recording the electrophysiologic...
