Research in multisensory processes has exploded over the last decade. Tremendous
advances have been made in a variety of fields from single-unit neural recordings and …

A considerable number of cognitive processes depend on the integration of multisensory
information. The brain integrates this information, providing a complete representation of our …

Humans live in a perceptual world. All of humanity's accomplishments, from agriculture to
space travel, depend on us being able to interact with the world through seeing, feeling …

Recent anatomical, physiological, and neuroimaging findings indicate multisensory
convergence at early, putatively unisensory stages of cortical processing. The objective of …

Our brain integrates the information provided by the different sensory modalities into a
coherent percept, and recent studies suggest that this process is not restricted to higher …

Cross-modal integration between sound and texture is important to perception and action.
Here we show this has repercussions for the structure of spoken languages. We present a …

Some spoken words are iconic, exhibiting a resemblance between form and meaning. We
used native speaker ratings to assess the iconicity of 3001 English words, analyzing their …

Somatosensory signals from the facial skin and muscles of the vocal tract provide a rich
source of sensory input in speech production. We show here that the somatosensory system …

Vibrotactile stimuli can facilitate hearing, both in hearing-impaired and in normally hearing
people. Accordingly, the sounds of hands exploring a surface contribute to the explorer's …

Neuroplastic changes in auditory cortex as a result of lifelong perceptual experience were
investigated. Adults with early-onset deafness and long-term hearing aid experience were …
