Reading in the Brain (Les neurones de la lecture, 2007) examined the origins of human reading abilities in the light of contemporary cognitive neuroscience. It argued that reading acquisition, in all cultures, recycles preexisting cortical circuits dedicated to invariant visual recognition, and that the organization of these circuits imposes strong constraints on the invention and cultural evol...

The topic of this presentation is the use of additive-factor designs in combination with functional MRI to assess multisensory integration. Unisensory and multisensory stimuli were presented across two different pairings of sensory systems, audio-visual (AV) and visuohaptic (VH). In addition to stimulus modality, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was included as an additive factor. Previous research ...

Film composition is defined here as a genre of stereotypes, whose methodologies are not feasibly subject to significant redevelopment. As consequence, the research focuses on improving components of the audience recognisable functions of film music. Subjects g...
