It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Background: Integrating information from the different senses markedly enhances the
detection and identification of external stimuli. Compared with unimodal inputs, semantically …

We present the first cross-modal modification of visual perception which involves a
phenomenological change in the quality—as opposed to a small, gradual, or quantitative …

Social judgments are made on the basis of both visual and auditory information, with
consequential implications for our decisions. To examine the impact of visual information on …

Can the phenomenal character of perceptual experience be altered by the states of one's
cognitive system, for example, one's thoughts or beliefs? If one thinks that this can happen …

Many animals produce and respond to signals made up of multiple components. For
example, many avian sexual displays are highly extravagant combinations of visual and …

The richness of perceptual experience, as well as its usefulness for guiding behaviour,
depends on the synthesis of information across multiple senses. Recent decades have …

Historically, perception has been viewed as a modular function, with the different sensory
modalities operating independently of each other. Recent behavioral and brain imaging …

To perceive the auditory and visual aspects of a physical event as occurring simultaneously,
the brain must adjust for differences between the two modalities in both physical …
