The world is rich in sensory information, and the challenge for any neural sensory system is
to piece together the diverse messages from large arrays of feature detectors. In vision and …

An interdisciplinary approach to sensory information combination shows a correspondence
between perceptual and neural measures of nonlinear multisensory integration. In …

Humans' talent for pattern recognition requires collaboration between perception and
memory. Recently, Michalka et al.(2012) showed that a task involving rapid presentation of …

Humans' talent for pattern recognition is made possible by a close partnership between
perception and memory. Building on my previous work (Aizenman, Bond, Sekuler, & Gold …

Musical training causes structural and functional changes in the brain due to its sensory-
motor demands, but the modulatory effect of musical training on music feature processing in …

Recognition of natural stimuli requires a combination of selectivity and invariance. Classical
neurobiological models achieve selectivity and invariance, respectively, by assigning to …

Although the influence of long‐term musical training on the processing of heard music has
been the subject of many studies, the neural basis of music imagery and the effect of musical …

Current artificial neural network or connectionist models of music cognition embody feature-
extraction and feature-weighting principles. This paper reports two experiments which seek …

Humans possess the unique ability of combinatorial generalization in auditory perception:
given novel auditory stimuli, humans perform auditory scene analysis and infer causal …

Understanding how the human brain integrates information from the environment with
intrinsic brain signals to produce individual perspectives is an essential element of …
