The role attention plays in our experience of a coherent, multisensory world is still controversial. On the one hand, subset inputs may be selected for detailed processing and integration top-down manner, i.e., guidance by attention. other stimuli integrated bottom-up fashion according to low-level properties such as spatial coincidence, thereby capturing Moreover, itself multifaceted can described via both mechanisms. Thus, interaction between complex situation-dependent. authors this...
The role of attention on multisensory processing is still poorly understood. In particular, it unclear whether directing toward a sensory cue dynamically reweights reliability during integration multiple signals. this study, we investigated the impact in combining audio-tactile signals an optimal fashion. We used Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) model to predict spatial localization body surface. developed new device composed by several small units, each one consisting speaker and tactile...
Temporal processing is fundamental for an accurate synchronization between motor behaviour and sensory processing. Here, we investigate how timing during rhythmic tapping influences perception of visual time. Participants listen to a sequence four auditory tones played at 1 Hz continue the (without stimulation) by times with their finger. During finger tapping, they are presented empty interval asked judge its length compared previously internalized 150 ms. The temporal estimates show...
Encoding the temporal properties of external signals that comprise multimodal events is a major factor guiding everyday experience. However, during natural aging process, impairments to sensory processing can profoundly affect perception. Various mechanisms contribute perception, and thus it imperative understand how each be affected by age. In current study, using three different order judgement tasks (unisensory, multisensory, sensorimotor), we investigated effects age on two separate...

ABSTRACT Multisensory objects that are frequently encountered in the natural environment lead to strong associations across a distributed sensory cortical network, with end result experience of unitary percept. Remarkably little is known, however, about processes sub-serving multisensory object formation and recognition. To advance our understanding this important domain, present study investigated brain involved learning identification novel visual-auditory objects. Specifically, we...
