Although numerous studies have shown that response times can be speeded by the
presentation of multisensory stimuli, here we show that such speeding can be seen even …

Background The ability to estimate the passage of time is of fundamental importance for
perceptual and cognitive processes. One experience of time is the perception of duration …

When the senses deliver conflicting information, vision dominates spatial processing, and
audition dominates temporal processing. We asked whether this sensory specialization …

The modality appropriateness hypothesis argues that the auditory modality is preferred over
the visual modality in tasks demanding temporal operations; hence, we predicted that …

Recent history influences subsequent perception, decision‐making and motor behaviours.
In this article, we address a discrepancy in the effects of recent sensory history on the …

Multisensory behavioral benefits generally occur when one modality provides improved or
disambiguating information to another. Here, we show benefits when no information is …

The ability to synthesize information across multiple senses is known as multisensory
integration and is essential to our understanding of the world around us. Sensory stimuli that …

There is increasing interest in multisensory influences upon sensory-specific judgments,
such as when auditory stimuli affect visual perception. Here we studied whether the duration …

Visual stimuli are known to influence the perception of auditory stimuli in spatial tasks, giving
rise to the ventriloquism effect. These influences can persist in the absence of visual input …

Attended objects are perceived to occur before unattended objects even when the two
objects are presented simultaneously. This finding has led to the widespread view that …
