Coordinated attention to information from multiple senses is fundamental to our ability to respond to salient environmental events, yet little is known about brain network mechanisms that guide integration of information from multiple senses. Here we investigate dynamic causal mechanisms underlying multisensory auditory-visual attention, focusing on a network of right-hemisphere frontal-cingula...

Social animals learn to perceive their social environment, and their social skills and preferences are thought to emerge from greater exposure to and hence familiarity with some social signals rather than others. Familiarity appears to be tightly linked to multisensory integration. The ability to differentiate and categorize familiar and unfamiliar individuals and to build a multisensory repres...

Many neurons in the superior colliculus (SC) integrate sensory information from multiple modalities, giving rise to significant response enhancements. Although enhanced multisensory responses have been shown to depend on the spatial and temporal relationships of the stimuli as well as on their relative effectiveness, these factors alone do not appear sufficient to account for the substantial he...

We propose a Bayesian nonparametric model of multisensory perception based upon the Indian buffet process. The model includes a set of latent variables that learn multisensory features from unisensory data. The model is highly flexible because it makes few statistical assumptions. In particular, the number of latent multisensory features is not fixed a priori. Instead, this number is estimated ...

Multisensory research is often interpreted according to three rules: the spatial rule, the temporal rule, and the law of inverse effectiveness. The spatial and temporal rules state that multisensory stimuli are integrated when their environmental sources occur at similar locations and times, respectively. The law of inverse effectiveness states that multisensory stimuli are integrated inversely...

Although sensory perception and neurobiology are traditionally investigated one modality at a time, real world behaviour and perception are driven by the integration of information from multiple sensory sources. Mounting evidence suggests that the neural underpinnings of multisensory integration extend into early sensory processing. This article examines the notion that neocortical operations a...

Surrounded by multiple objects and events, receiving multisensory stimulation, our brain must sort through relevant and irrelevant multimodal signals to correctly decode and represent the information from the same and different objects and, respectively, events in the physical world. Over the last two decades, scientific interest has increased dramatically in how we integrate multisensory infor...

It is quite important for the individual to actively participate in educational process during language teaching. possible involve students learning thanks use of various student-centered activities and appeal more than one sense organ. The methods, techniques, materials be used acquisition also affect their attitudes self-efficacy towards related skills. As an part children’s literature, tales...
