Although multisensory integration (MSI) has been extensively studied, the underlying mechanisms remain a topic of ongoing debate. Here we investigate these mechanisms by comparing MSI in healthy ...

Multisensory integration (MSI) plays a critical role in perception, action, cognition, and emotion across the adult lifespan. While age-related changes in ...

Multisensory integration is understood as the convergence of input from different sensory modalities, such as visual, auditory, or tactile. The ability of the brain to combine different sensory inputs ...

Monica Gori, Principal Investigator at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and head of the Unit for Visually Impaired People Lab, explains the Multisensory Integration CLIMB. Monica Gori has developed ...

It has long been understood that experiencing two senses simultaneously, like seeing and hearing, can lead to improved responses relative to those seen when only one sensory input is experienced by ...

The Multisensory Correlation Detector (MCD) population model consists of elementary computational units (left), each of which responds to audiovisual transients (that is, changes in the input) that ...

Humans and other primates can jointly make sense of different types of sensory information, including sounds, smells, shapes and so on. By integrating sensory stimuli in the brain, they can better ...

From virtual reality to rehabilitation and communication, haptic technology has revolutionized the way humans interact with the digital world. While early haptic devices focused on single-sensory cues ...

Like humans, octopuses can fall for the rubber hand illusion and believe that a fake arm is theirs. This suggests they have a sense of their own body, just as we do. Science X Daily and the Weekly ...
