A central goal of neuroscience is to understand the representations formed by brain activity
patterns and their connection to behaviour. The classic approach is to investigate how …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Integration of multiple sensory cues is essential for precise and accurate perception and
behavioral performance, yet the reliability of sensory signals can vary across modalities and …

Bayesian observer models provide a principled account of the fact that our perception of the
world rarely matches physical reality. The standard explanation is that our percepts are …

Responses of neurons that integrate multiple sensory inputs are traditionally characterized
in terms of a set of empirical principles. However, a simple computational framework that …

Neurons in the dorsal visual pathway of the mammalian brain are selective for motion
stimuli, with the complexity of stimulus representations increasing along the hierarchy. This …

Self-motion through an environment involves a composite of signals such as visual and
vestibular cues. Building upon previous results showing that visual and vestibular signals …

Responses of neurons in early visual cortex change little with training and appear
insufficient to account for perceptual learning. Behavioral performance, however, relies on …

Humans and animals can integrate sensory evidence from various sources to make
decisions in a statistically near-optimal manner, provided that the stimulus presentation time …

When faced with predatory threats, escape towards shelter is an adaptive action that offers
long-term protection against the attacker. Animals rely on knowledge of safe locations in the …
