Several studies have shown that the direction in which a visual apparent motion stream
moves can influence the perceived direction of an auditory apparent motion stream (an …

Orienting responses to audiovisual events in the environment can benefit markedly by the
integration of visual and auditory spatial information. However, logically, audiovisual …

Humans are almost always surrounded by multiple objects and, therefore, multiple sources
of sensory stimulation. At any given instant, the brain is typically engaged in processing …

We report a series of experiments utilizing the binocular rivalry paradigm designed to
investigate whether auditory semantic context modulates visual awareness. Binocular rivalry …

Motion is represented by low-level signals, such as size-expansion in vision or loudness
changes in the auditory modality. The visual and auditory signals from the same object or …

Biological motion is usually associated with highly correlated sensory signals from more
than one modality: an approaching human walker will not only have a visual representation …

The processing of biological motion is a critical, everyday task performed with remarkable
efficiency by human sensory systems. Interest in this ability has focused to a large extent on …

William James portrayed perception as a partnership:" Whilst part of what we perceive
comes through our senses from the object before us, another part (and it may be the larger …

Background One possible strategy to evaluate whether signals in different modalities
originate from a common external event or object is to form associations between inputs …

Previous work has shown that abrupt visual onsets capture attention. This occurs even with
stimuli that are equiluminant with the background, which suggests that the appearance of a …
