Alpha oscillations and temporal binding windows in perception—A critical review and best practice guidelines

JM Schoffelen, UG Pesci, U Noppeney - Journal of Cognitive …, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
An intriguing question in cognitive neuroscience is whether alpha oscillations shape how
the brain transforms the continuous sensory inputs into distinct percepts. According to the …

Causal inference accounts for heading perception in the presence of object motion

K Dokka, H Park, M Jansen… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
The brain infers our spatial orientation and properties of the world from ambiguous and
noisy sensory cues. Judging self-motion (heading) in the presence of independently moving …

Multisensory correlation computations in the human brain identified by a time-resolved encoding model

J Pesnot Lerousseau, CV Parise, MO Ernst… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Neural mechanisms that arbitrate between integrating and segregating multisensory
information are essential for complex scene analysis and for the resolution of the …

Repeated exposure to either consistently spatiotemporally congruent or consistently incongruent audiovisual stimuli modulates the audiovisual common-cause prior

F Hong, S Badde, MS Landy - Scientific reports, 2022 - nature.com
To estimate an environmental property such as object location from multiple sensory signals,
the brain must infer their causal relationship. Only information originating from the same …

Multisensory neural processing: from cue integration to causal inference

RL French, GC DeAngelis - Current Opinion in Physiology, 2020 - Elsevier
Neurophysiological studies of multisensory processing have largely focused on how the
brain integrates information from different sensory modalities to form a coherent percept …

Causal inference regulates audiovisual spatial recalibration via its influence on audiovisual perception

F Hong, S Badde, MS Landy - PLoS computational biology, 2021 - journals.plos.org
To obtain a coherent perception of the world, our senses need to be in alignment. When we
encounter misaligned cues from two sensory modalities, the brain must infer which cue is …

Monkeys and humans implement causal inference to simultaneously localize auditory and visual stimuli

JT Mohl, JM Pearson, JM Groh - Journal of …, 2020 - journals.physiology.org
The environment is sampled by multiple senses, which are woven together to produce a
unified perceptual state. However, optimally unifying such signals requires assigning …

Differential effects of the temporal and spatial distribution of audiovisual stimuli on cross‐modal spatial recalibration

P Bruns, HR Dinse, B Röder - European Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Visual input constantly recalibrates auditory spatial representations. Exposure to
isochronous audiovisual stimuli with a fixed spatial disparity typically results in a subsequent …

Multisensory integration operates on correlated input from unimodal transients channels

CV Parise, MO Ernst - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Audiovisual information reaches the brain via both sustained and transient input channels,
representing signals' intensity over time or changes thereof, respectively. To date, it is …
