Influences of Multisensory Experience on Subsequent Unisensory Processing
Multisensory perception has been the focus of intense investigation in recent years. It is now well-established that crossmodal interactions are ubiquitous in perceptual processing and endow the system with improved precision, accuracy, processing speed, etc. While these findings have shed much light on principles and mechanisms of perception, ultimately it is not very surprising that multiple ...
متن کاملVisual and multisensory processing and plasticity in the human brain
A central theme in sensory neurophysiology suggests that information processing in early sensory areas is strictly modality specific. This division of labor between cortical areas is also seen within modalities, with different areas specializing in processing various aspects of the physical stimulus (such as motion, depth, shape and texture of objects). How information is integrated within and ...
متن کاملGravity Influences Top-Down Signals in Visual Processing
Visual perception is not only based on incoming visual signals but also on information about a multimodal reference frame that incorporates vestibulo-proprioceptive input and motor signals. In addition, top-down modulation of visual processing has previously been demonstrated during cognitive operations including selective attention and working memory tasks. In the absence of a stable gravitati...
متن کاملBrain States: Top-Down Influences in Sensory Processing
All cortical and thalamic levels of sensory processing are subject to powerful top-down influences, the shaping of lower-level processes by more complex information. New findings on the diversity of top-down interactions show that cortical areas function as adaptive processors, being subject to attention, expectation, and perceptual task. Brain states are determined by the interactions between ...
متن کاملHaptic Shape Processing in Visual Cortex
Humans typically rely upon vision to identify object shape, but we can also recognize shape via touch (haptics). Our haptic shape recognition ability raises an intriguing question: To what extent do visual cortical shape recognition mechanisms support haptic object recognition? We addressed this question using a haptic fMRI repetition design, which allowed us to identify neuronal populations se...
