Behavior, perception and cognition are strongly shaped by the synthesis of information
across the different sensory modalities. Such multisensory integration often results in …

This review addresses the question of when spatial coincidence facilitates multisensory
integration in humans. According to the spatial rule (which was first formulated on the basis …

Perceptual events derive their significance to an animal from their meaning about the world,
that is from the information they carry about their causes. The brain should thus be able to …

Searching for an object within a cluttered, continuously changing environment can be a very
time-consuming process. The authors show that a simple auditory pip drastically decreases …

People often move in synchrony with auditory rhythms (eg, music), whereas synchronization
of movement with purely visual rhythms is rare. In two experiments, this apparent attraction …

The brain integrates information from multiple sensory modalities and, through this process,
generates a coherent and apparently seamless percept of the external world. Although …

The relative spatiotemporal correspondence between sensory events affects multisensory
integration across a variety of species; integration is maximal when stimuli in different …

Under certain conditions, auditory and visual information are integrated into a single unified
percept even when they originate in different locations in space. The present study shows …

In two experiments, we examined the extent to which audiovisual temporal order judgments
(TOJs) were affected by spatial factors and by the dimension along which TOJs were made …

One of the most exciting recent findings in neuroscience has been the capacity for neural
plasticity in adult humans and animals. Studies of perceptual learning have provided key …
