findings indicate that multisensory integration can occur across various stages of stimulus …

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 …

Deep Belief Networks (DBNs) have recently shown impressive performance on a broad
range of classification problems. Their generative properties allow better understanding of …

When combining information across different senses, humans need to flexibly select cues of

Multisensory processes are fundamental in scaffolding perception, cognition, learning, and
behavior. How and when stimuli from different sensory modalities are integrated rather than …

The richness of perceptual experience, as well as its usefulness for guiding behaviour,
depends on the synthesis of information across multiple senses. Recent decades have …

The visual word form area (VWFA) is a ventral stream visual area that develops expertise for
visual reading [1–3]. It is activated across writing systems and scripts [4, 5] and encodes …

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 …
