Parallel scanning of auditory and visual information

Combining visual and auditory information.

Robust perception requires that information from by our five different senses be combined at some central level to produce a single unified percept of the world. Recent theory and evidence from many laboratories suggests that the combination does not occur in a rigid, hardwired fashion, but follows flexible situation-dependent rules that allow information to be combined with maximal efficiency....

Visual and Auditory Complications during Deferasirox Therapy in Beta-thalassemia

Background:  Deferasirox is an oral iron chelator widely used to treat iron overload in patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia. This study investigated the prevalence of visual and auditory complications caused by deferasirox. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 156 patients aged less than 18 years with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia and deferasirox iron...

Auditory Motion Information Drives Visual Motion Perception

BACKGROUND Vision provides the most salient information with regard to the stimulus motion. However, it has recently been demonstrated that static visual stimuli are perceived as moving laterally by alternating left-right sound sources. The underlying mechanism of this phenomenon remains unclear; it has not yet been determined whether auditory motion signals, rather than auditory positional sig...

Conveying visual information with spatial auditory patterns

Humans can perceive their spatial surroundings both by the visual and the auditory senses. Even though the auditory system has much lower spatial resolution, it can still serve as an alternative or supplementary information channel for the visual modality. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of conveying elaborate visual information by auditory patterns. A system is developed which tr...
