Multisensory integration (MSI) is the integration by the brain of environmental information
acquired through more than one sense. Accurate MSI has been shown to be a key …

The rapid demographical shift occurring in our society implies that understanding of healthy
aging and age-related diseases is one of our major future challenges. Sensory impairments …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used to infer age-differences in
neural activity from the hemodynamic response function (HRF) that characterizes the blood …

The processing of multisensory signals is crucial for effective interaction with the
environment, but our ability to perform this vital function changes as we age. In the first part …

Falls are the main contributor to both fatal and nonfatal injuries in elderly individuals as well
as significant sources of morbidity and mortality, which are mostly induced by impaired …

While aging can lead to significant declines in perceptual and cognitive function, the effects
of age on multisensory integration, the process in which the brain combines information …

Objects comprise of visual and auditory signatures that arrive through distinct sensory
channels. Exposure to cross-modal events sets up expectations about what a given object …

Background: This systematic review pooled all the latest data and reviewed all the relevant
