Language processing is a trait of human species. The knowledge about its neurobiological
basis has been increased considerably over the past decades. Different brain regions in the …

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

Robots which interact with the physical world will benefit from a fine-grained tactile
understanding of objects and surfaces. Additionally, for certain tasks, robots may need to …

Recent research indicates that sensory and motor cortical areas play a significant role in the
neural representation of concepts. However, little is known about the overall architecture of …

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 …

The superior temporal sulcus (STS) is the chameleon of the human brain. Several research
areas claim the STS as the host brain region for their particular behavior of interest. Some …

Picture yourself on a crowded sideway with people milling about. The acoustic and visual
signals generated by the crowd provide you with complementary information about their …

The lateral-occipital tactile-visual area (LOtv) is activated when objects are recognized by
vision or touch. We report here that the LOtv is also activated in sighted and blind humans …

Our understanding of multisensory integration has advanced because of recent functional
neuroimaging studies of three areas in human lateral occipito-temporal cortex: superior …

Recent work has shown that people routinely use perceptual information during language
comprehension and conceptual processing, from single-word recognition to modality …
