Sensory processing in the brain includes three key operations: multisensory integration-the task of combining cues into a single estimate of a common underlying stimulus; coordinate transformations-the change of reference frame for a stimulus (e.g., retinotopic to body-centered) effected through knowledge about an intervening variable (e.g., gaze position); and the incorporation of prior inform...

In this paper we present a method for autonomous learning of dextrous manipulation skills with multiin-gered robot hands. We use heuristics derived from observations made on human hands to reduce the degrees of freedom of the task and make learning tractable. Our approach consists of learning and storing a few basic manipulation primitives for a few prototypical objects and then using an associ...

Abstract It is well known that primary school children may face difficulties in acquiring mathematical competence, possibly because teaching generally based on formal lessons with little opportunity to exploit more multisensory-based activities within the classroom. To overcome such difficulties, we report here exemplary design of a novel multisensory learning environment for concepts meaningfu...

Plasticity is essential in body perception so that physical changes in the body can be accommodated and assimilated. Multisensory integration of visual, auditory, tactile, and proprioceptive signals contributes both to conscious perception of the body's current state and to associated learning. However, much is unknown about how novel information is assimilated into body perception networks in ...

Multisensory is an approach to learning that focuses on the five human senses, one of which in process read for elementary school students. This type research a classroom action entitled Application Approach Use ABADUS media as Effort Improve Reading Learning Process Class 2 SDN Priyoso Students. The was conducted see whether students' reading while at after pandemic occurred, did they experien...

The brain's ability to bind incoming auditory and visual stimuli depends critically on the temporal structure of this information. Specifically, there exists a temporal window of audiovisual integration within which stimuli are highly likely to be perceived as part of the same environmental event. Several studies have described the temporal bounds of this window, but few have investigated its m...

BACKGROUND It is well-known that human beings are able to associate stimuli (novel or not) perceived in their environment. For example, this ability is used by children in reading acquisition when arbitrary associations between visual and auditory stimuli must be learned. The studies tend to consider it as an "implicit" process triggered by the learning of letter/sound correspondences. The stud...
