Neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies have shown that nociceptive stimuli elicit
responses in an extensive cortical network including somatosensory, insular and cingulate …

Virtual reality (VR) is rapidly growing, with the potential to change the way we create and
consume content. In VR, users integrate multimodal sensory information they receive to …

Our everyday surroundings besiege us with information. The battle is for a share of our
limited attention and memory, with the brain selecting the winners and discarding the losers …

Pain is a conscious experience, crucial for survival. To investigate the neural basis of pain
perception in humans, a large number of investigators apply noxious stimuli to the body of …

Functional neuroimaging studies in humans have shown that nociceptive stimuli elicit
activity in a wide network of cortical areas commonly labeled as the “pain matrix” and …

Adaptive behavior in a complex, dynamic, and multisensory world poses some of the most
fundamental computational challenges for the brain, notably inference, decision-making …

Rainstorms, insect swarms, and galloping horses produce" sound textures"—the collective
result of many similar acoustic events. Sound textures are distinguished by temporal …

Some fifty years after the first physiological studies of auditory attention, the field is now
ripening, with exciting recent insights into the psychophysics, psychology, and neural basis …

Multimodal streams of sensory information are naturally parsed and integrated by humans
using signal-level feature extraction and higher level cognitive processes. Detection of …
