We investigated whether the “unity assumption,” according to which an observer assumes
that two different sensory signals refer to the same underlying multisensory event, influences …

Over the last 50 years or so, a large body of empirical research has demonstrated the
importance of a variety of low-level spatiotemporal factors in the multisensory integration of …

Percussionists inadvertently use visual information to strategically manipulate audience
perception of note duration. Videos of long (L) and short (S) notes performed by a world …

Under many conditions, humans display a robust tendency to rely more on visual
information than on other forms of sensory information. Colavita (1974) illustrated this visual …

We study a computational model of audiovisual integration by setting a Bayesian observer
that localizes visual and auditory stimuli without presuming the binding of audiovisual …

Most research on depth cue integration has focused on stimulus regimes in which stimuli
contain the small cue conflicts that one might expect to normally arise from sensory noise. In …

Previous research has shown that the brain uses statistical knowledge of both sensory and
motor accuracy to optimize behavioral performance. Here, we present the results of a novel …

Audition and vision both form spatial maps of the environment in the brain, and their
congruency requires alignment and calibration. Because audition is referenced to the head …

Much of the information about multisensory integration is derived from studies of the cat
superior colliculus (SC), a midbrain structure involved in orientation behaviors. This …

Multisensory integration is a powerful mechanism for maximizing sensitivity to sensory
events. We examined its effects on auditory localization in healthy human subjects. The …
