Bisensory redundant targets are processed faster than the respective unisensory target stimuli alone as evidenced by substantially reaction times (RTs). This multisensory RT facilitation has been interpreted an expression of integrative processing between different sensory modalities. However, neuronal mechanisms underlying effect not well understood. Oscillatory responses in beta frequency range (13-30 Hz) have related to sensory-motor processing. Here, we investigated whether modulation...
Ongoing neural oscillations reflect fluctuations of cortical excitability. A growing body research has underlined the role for stimulus processing. Neural in alpha band have gained special interest electrophysiological on perception. Recent studies proposed idea that provide temporal windows which sensory stimuli can be perceptually integrated. This also includes multisensory integration. In current high-density EEG-study we examined relationship between individual frequency (IAF) and...
Abstract. It has been demonstrated in numerous experiments that oscillatory EEG responses the alpha frequency band (8-12 Hz) increase with memory load during retention interval working tasks. However, findings diverge respect to which measurement of activity is influenced by processes. Here, we differentiate between evoked and total order separate effects phase-locking amplitude modulation. We present data from a delayed-matching-to-sample task (S1-S2 paradigm) for compared perception...
"Don't look and it won't hurt" is commonly heard advice when receiving an injection, which implies that observing needle pricks enhances pain perception. Throughout our lives, we repeatedly learn sharp objects cause penetrating skin, but situational expectations, like information given by the clinician prior to may also influence how viewing affects forthcoming pain. How both previous experiences acute expectations related modulate perception unknown. We presented participants with video...
The McGurk illusion is a prominent example of audiovisual speech perception and the influence that visual stimuli can have on auditory perception. In this illusion, stimulus influences an incongruent stimulus, resulting in fused novel percept. high-density electroencephalography (EEG) study, we were interested neural signatures subjective percept as phenomenon speech-specific multisensory integration. Therefore, examined role cortical oscillations event-related responses congruent speech. We...
Working memory (WM) is essential for reasoning, decision-making, and problem solving. Recently, there has been an increasing effort in improving WM through noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS), especially transcranial direct alternating current (tDCS/tACS). Studies suggest that tDCS tACS can modulate performance, but large variability research approaches hinders the identification of optimal protocols interpretation study results. Moreover, it unclear whether differentially affect WM. Here,...
Painful events in our environment are often accompanied by stimuli from other sensory modalities. These may influence the perception and processing of acute pain, particular when they comprise emotional cues, like facial expressions people surrounding us. In this whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG) study, we examined neuronal mechanisms underlying (fearful, angry, or happy) compared to neutral on pain humans. Independent their valence, subjective ratings for intracutaneous inputs were...
Knowledge about the sensory modality in which a forthcoming event might occur permits anticipatory intersensory attention.Information as to when exactly an occurs enables temporal orienting.Intersensory and attention mechanisms are often deployed simultaneously, but yet it is unknown whether these processes operate interactively or parallel.In this human electroencephalography study, we manipulated orienting same paradigm.A continuous stream of bisensory visuo-tactile inputs was presented,...
