The natural ecology of human language is face-to-face interaction comprising the exchange
of a plethora of multimodal signals. Trying to understand the psycholinguistic processing of …

In many everyday situations, our senses are bombarded by many different unisensory
signals at any given time. To gain the most veridical, and least variable, estimate of …

Classical (Bayesian) probability (CP) theory has led to an influential research tradition for
modeling cognitive processes. Cognitive scientists have been trained to work with CP …

Although much traditional sensory research has studied each sensory modality in isolation,
there has been a recent explosion of interest in causal interplay between different senses …

Successful integration of auditory and visual inputs is crucial for both basic perceptual
functions and for higher-order processes related to social cognition. Autism spectrum …

Viewing a speaker's articulatory movements substantially improves a listener's ability to
understand spoken words, especially under noisy environmental conditions. It has been …

Human observers combine multiple sensory cues synergistically to achieve greater
perceptual sensitivity, but little is known about the underlying neuronal mechanisms. We …

Abstract Objects are the building blocks of experience, but what do we mean by an object?
Increasingly, neuroscientists refer to'auditory objects', yet it is not clear what properties these …

Information from the different senses is seamlessly integrated by the brain in order to modify
our behaviors and enrich our perceptions. It is only through the appropriate binding and …

Atypical processing and integration of sensory inputs are hypothesized to play a role in
unusual sensory reactions and social-cognitive deficits in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) …
