Familiarity and voice representation: From acoustic-based representation to voice averages

The ability to recognize an individual from their voice is a widespread ability with a long evolutionary history. Yet, the perceptual representation of familiar voices is …

A practical guide for the identification of major sulcogyral structures of the human cortex

The precise sulcogyral localization of cortical lesions is mandatory to improve communication between practitioners and to predict and prevent post-operative deficits. This …

The average baboon brain: MRI templates and tissue probability maps from 89 individuals

The baboon (Papio) brain is a remarkable model for investigating the brain. The current work aimed at creating a population-average baboon (Papio anubis) brain template and its …

Social decisions affect neural activity to perceived dynamic gaze

Gaze direction, a cue of both social and spatial attention, is known to modulate early neural responses to faces e.g. N170. However, findings in the literature have been …

The role of kinematics in cortical regions for continuous human motion perception

It has been proposed that we make sense of the movements of others by observing fluctuations in the kinematic properties of their actions. At the neural level, activity in the …

Uni- and multisensory brain areas are synchronised across spectators when watching unedited dance recordings

The superior temporal sulcus (STS) and gyrus (STG) are commonly identified to be functionally relevant for multisensory integration of audiovisual (AV) stimuli. However, most …

A psychophysical investigation of differences between synchrony and temporal order judgments

Synchrony judgments involve deciding whether cues to an event are in synch or out of synch, while temporal order judgments involve deciding which of the cues came first. When the …

Cerebral correlates and statistical criteria of cross-modal face and voice integration

Perception of faces and voices plays a prominent role in human social interaction, making multisensory integration of cross-modal speech a topic of great interest in cognitive …

Action expertise reduces brain activity for audiovisual matching actions: An fMRI study with expert drummers

When we observe someone perform a familiar action, we can usually predict what kind of sound that action will produce. Musical actions are over-experienced by musicians and not by …
