Sound location processing in the human auditory cortex was studied with magnetoencephalography (MEG) by producing spatial stimuli using a modern stimulus generation methodology utilizing head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). The stimulus set comprised wideband noise bursts filtered through HRTFs in order to produce natural spatial sounds. Neuromagnetic responses for stimuli representing eigh...

48 Prior evidence has shown that a person’s affective context influences attention to 49 emotional stimuli. The present study investigated whether a crossmodal affective context that is 50 induced by remembering an emotional sound modulates attention to visual emotional stimuli. 51 One group of participants had to remember a positive, negative, or neutral sound during each trial 52 of a dot pro...

30 Previous studies have demonstrated that single neurons in the central nucleus of the 31 inferior colliculus (ICC) are sensitive to multiple sound localization cues. In the present 32 study we investigated the hypothesis that ICC neurons are specialized to encode multiple 33 sound localization cues that are aligned in space (as would naturally occur from a single 34 broadband sound source). S...

Recent studies in affective computing are focused on sensing human cognitive context using biosignals. In this study, electrooculography (EOG) was utilized to investigate memory recall accessibility via eye movement patterns. 12 subjects were participated in our experiment wherein pictures from four categories were presented. Each category contained nine pictures of which three were presented t...

Fourand 8-month-old infants’ responses to temporally based auditory-visual equivalence were investigated in a series of experiments. In the first experiment, infants viewed pairs of computer-generated visual stimuli that moved at different rates while a sound occurred each time one of the stimuli reversed its direction of motion at the bottom of the screen. Contrary to previous reports, infants...
