How we perceive our environment affects the way we feel and behave. The impressions of
our ambient environment are influenced by its entire spectrum of physical characteristics …

By using meaningful stimuli, multisensory research has recently started to investigate the
impact of stimulus content on crossmodal integration. Variations in this respect have often …

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

People can seamlessly integrate a vast array of information from what they see and hear in
the noisy and uncertain world. However, the neural underpinnings of audiovisual integration …

The cortical integration of auditory and visual features is crucial for efficient object
recognition. Previous studies have shown that audiovisual (AV) integration is affected by …

In the present fMRI study the issue of the specific cortices activation during imagery
generation in different sensory modalities is addressed. In particular, we tested whether the …

Several studies indicate that both posterior superior temporal sulcus/middle temporal gyrus
(pSTS/MTG) and left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) are involved in integrating information from …

Gestures are an important part of interpersonal communication, for example by illustrating
physical properties of speech contents (eg,“the ball is round”). The meaning of these so …

The brain generates a representation of our environment by integrating signals from a
common source, but segregating signals from different sources. This fMRI study investigated …

Previous fMRI research identified superior temporal sulcus as central integration area for
audiovisual stimuli. However, less is known about a general multisensory integration …
