The stimulus complexity of naturally occurring odours presents unique challenges for central
nervous systems that are aiming to internalize the external olfactory landscape. One …

We report a series of experiments designed to assess the effect of audiovisual semantic
congruency on the identification of visually-presented pictures. Participants made …

Auditory hallucinations are generally defined as false perceptions. Recent developments in
auditory neuroscience have rapidly increased our understanding of normal auditory …

The auditory system continuously parses the acoustic environment into auditory objects,
usually representing separate sound sources. Sound sources typically show characteristic …

Though architectural space is the main source and the only indispensable component of any
architectural construction, in many cases its boundaries are uncertain, leading intuitive …

This paper defends two theses about sensory objects. The more general thesis is that
directly sensed objects are those delivered by sub-personal processes. It is shown how this …

In this paper we offer a theory of cross-modal objects. To begin, we discuss two kinds of
linkages between vision and audition. The first is a duality. The the visual system detects …

An important task of perceptual processing is to parse incoming information into distinct units
and to keep track of those units over time as the same, persisting representations. Within the …

We compared auditory change detection to visual change detection using closely matched
stimuli and tasks in the two modalities. On each trial, participants were presented with a test …

Frequently, we learn of the locations of things and events in our environment by means of
hearing. Hearing, I argue, is a locational mode of perceiving with a robustly spatial …
