The inferior colliculus (IC) is a major processing center situated mid-way along both the
ascending and descending auditory pathways of the brain stem. Although it is fundamentally …

Cochlear implants are neuroprostheses designed to restore speech perception in case of
profound bilateral hearing loss. As speech is fundamentally an audiovisual percept, a deficit …

It is well known that simultaneous presentation of incongruent audio and visual stimuli can
lead to illusory percepts. Recent data suggest that distinct processes underlie non-specific …

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative illness without a cure. All current therapies
require an accurate diagnosis and staging of AD to ensure appropriate care. Central …

A remarkable ability of animals that is critical for survival is to detect and respond to to
unexpected stimuli in an ever-changing world. Auditory neurons that show stimulus-specific …

Incongruent auditory and visual stimuli can elicit audiovisual illusions such as the McGurk
effect where visual/ka/and auditory/pa/fuse into another percept such as/ta/. In the present …

Purpose: Recent studies suggest that cochlear implant (CI) users have a typical, and
perhaps improved, ability to fuse congruent multisensory information. The ability to fuse …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is normally thought of as a predominantly auditory structure
because of its early position in the ascending auditory pathway just before the auditory …

Converging evidence suggests that the left superior temporal sulcus (STS) is a critical site
for multisensory integration of auditory and visual information during speech perception. We …

Predictive-coding theory proposes that the brain actively predicts sensory inputs based on
prior knowledge. While this theory has been extensively researched within individual …
