Combining the senses: the role of experience- and task-dependent mechanisms in the development of audiovisual simultaneity perception

The brain's ability to integrate information from the different senses is essential for decreasing sensory uncertainty and ultimately limiting errors. Temporal correspondence is one of the key processes that determines whether information from …

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 inconsistent, likely reflecting differences in stimulus characteristics and task …

Neural Bases for Social Attention in Healthy Humans

In this chapter we focus on the neural processes that occur in the mature healthy human brain in response to evaluating another’s social attention. We first examine the brain’s sensitivity to gaze direction of others, social attention (as typically …

Crossmodal Integration of Emotional Stimuli in Alcohol Dependence

Face–voice integration has been extensively explored among healthy participants during the last decades. Nevertheless, while binding alterations constitute a core feature of many psychiatric diseases, these crossmodal processing have been very little …

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 neuroscience. How to define potential sites of multisensory integration …
