Relative contributions of visual and auditory spatial representations to tactile localization.
Spatial localization of touch is critically dependent upon coordinate transformation between different reference frames, which must ultimately allow for alignment between somatotopic and external representations of space. Although prior work has shown an important role for cues such as body posture in influencing the spatial localization of touch, the relative contributions of the different sen...
متن کاملTactile feedback improves auditory spatial localization
Our recent studies suggest that congenitally blind adults have severely impaired thresholds in an auditory spatial bisection task, pointing to the importance of vision in constructing complex auditory spatial maps (Gori et al., 2014). To explore strategies that may improve the auditory spatial sense in visually impaired people, we investigated the impact of tactile feedback on spatial auditory ...
متن کاملAuditory and Visual Contributions to Multisensory Integration
Multisensory integration, or the merging of information from multiple sensory modalities, is important for many everyday tasks. One methodology used for examining this process is the Sound Induced Flash Illusion (SIFI), which presents participants with a number of flashes and either the same number of beeps (congruent) or a different number of beeps (incongruent), and requires the participant t...
متن کاملBayesian integration of visual and auditory signals for spatial localization.
Human observers localize events in the world by using sensory signals from multiple modalities. We evaluated two theories of spatial localization that predict how visual and auditory information are weighted when these signals specify different locations in space. According to one theory (visual capture), the signal that is typically most reliable dominates in a winner-take-all competition, whe...
متن کاملProprioceptive influences on auditory and visual spatial localization.
We evaluated the influence of proprioceptive information about arm position on the perceptual localization of auditory and visual targets attached to the hand. Our approach was to distort the perceived position of the restrained arm by means of mechanical vibration of the biceps brachii muscle; such vibration elicits compelling apparent extension of the stationary forearm (Goodwin, G. M., D. I....
