Abstract:
When two displays are presented in close temporal succession at the same location, how does the brain assign them to one versus two conscious percepts? We investigate this issue using a novel reading paradigm in which the odd and even letters of a string are presented alternatively at a variable rate. The results reveal a window of temporal integration during reading, with a nonlinear boundary around ∼80 msec of presentation duration. Below this limit, the oscillating stimulus is easily fused into a single percept, with all characteristics of normal reading. Above this limit, reading times are

Numerous investigations have shown that the cat's pretectal region is involved in various visual habits and in visually guided behaviour. Thus visually driven pretectal neurons should possess summation abilities for integration of incoming sensory information.

Multisensory neurons in the superior colliculus (SC) typically respond to combinations of stimuli from multiple modalities with enhancements and/or depressions in their activity. Although such changes in response have been shown to follow a predictive set of integrative principles, these principles fail to completely account for the full range of interactions seen throughout the SC population. In an effort to better define this variability, we sought to determine if there were additional features of the neuronal response profile that were predictive of the magnitude of the multisensory interac

The sensitivity of the visual pathway that subserves circadian entrainment was measured in hamsters after prior stimulation and using trains of multiple pulses. Immediately after subsaturating stimulation in the late subjective night, there was a significant decrease in responsiveness that persisted for at least 1 h. The reduced responsiveness was not due to light adaptation (shifting of the stimulus-response curve) but rather to response saturation, which appeared to reduce the sensitivity to subsequent stimulation and limit the maximum response of the pacemaker.

Convergence of inputs from different sensory modalities onto individual neurons is a phenomenon that occurs widely throughout the brain at many phyletic levels and appears to represent a basic neural mechanism by which an organism integrates complex environmental stimuli.

Background: Visual perceptual learning plays a crucial role in shaping our understanding of how the human brain integrates visual cues to construct coherent perceptual experiences. The visual system is continually challenged to integrate a multitude of visual cues, including form and motion, to create a unified representation of the surrounding visual scene. This process involves both the processing of local signals and their integration into a coherent global percept. Over the past several decades, researchers have explored the mechanisms underlying this integration, focusing on concepts such

In the present psychophysical study, we systematically manipulated the causal prior while keeping sensory evidence constant. We paired auditory and visual stimuli during an association phase to be spatiotemporally either congruent or incongruent, with the goal of driving the causal prior in opposite

Abstract:
Human observers can discriminate the orientation of a stimulus configuration composed of a pair of collinear visual patterns much better than that of a single component pattern alone. Previous investigations of this type of orientation signal integration and of other similar visual integrative functions have shown that, for closely spaced elements, there is integration only for stimuli with the same contrast polarity (i.e., both lighter or both darker than the background) but, at greater separations, integration is independent of contrast polarity. Is this effect specific to differences in con

Abstract:
The perception of visual motion can be profoundly influenced by visual context. To gain insight into how the visual system represents motion speed, we investigated how a background stimulus that did not move in a net direction influenced the perceived speed of a center stimulus. Visual stimuli were two overlapping random-dot patterns. The center stimulus moved coherently in a fixed direction, whereas the background stimulus moved randomly. We found that human subjects perceived the speed of the center stimulus to be significantly faster than its veridical speed when the background contained mo

Abstract:
Three psycho-visual experiments were carried out to investigate visual afterimage characteristics of high luminance LEDs under dark surround conditions. The results show that the luminance of illumination, exposure time and background luminance are the primary factors influencing the afterimage’s duration, the color difference between stimulus and background, and visibility. Besides, visual afterimage characteristics are strongly correlated with the luminance contrast between the stimulus and the background, but not for the color difference with a white background.

Abstract:
When two visual patterns are presented in rapid succession, their contours may be combined into a single unified percept. This temporal integration is known to be influenced by such low-level visual factors as stimulus intensity, contour proximity, and stimulus duration. In this study we asked whether temporal integration is modulated by an attentional-blink procedure. The results from a localisation task in experiment 1 and a detection task in experiment 2 pointed to two separate effects. First, greater attentional availability increased the accuracy of spatial localisation. Second, it increa

Abstract:
In the natural world, self-motion always stimulates several different sensory modalities. Here we investigated the interplay between a visual optic flow stimulus simulating self-motion and a tactile stimulus (air flow resulting from self-motion) while human observers were engaged in a distance reproduction task. We found that adding congruent tactile information (i.e., speed of the air flow and speed of visual motion are directly proportional) to the visual information significantly improves the precision of the actively reproduced distances. This improvement, however, was smaller than predict

Abstract:
Abstract Hemianopia can be rehabilitated by an auditory-visual “training” procedure, which restores visual responsiveness in midbrain neurons indirectly compromised by the cortical lesion and reinstates vision in contralesional space. Presumably, these rehabilitative changes are induced via mechanisms of multisensory integration/plasticity. If so, the paradigm should fail if the stimulus configurations violate the spatiotemporal principles that govern these midbrain processes. To test this possibility, hemianopic cats were provided spatially or temporally noncongruent auditory-visual training.

Previous studies have shown that the perceived duration of visual stimuli can be strongly distorted by auditory stimuli presented simultaneously. In this study, we examine whether sounds presented separately from target visual stimuli alter the perceived duration of the target’s presentation. The participants’ task was to classify the duration of the target visual stimuli as perceived by them into four categories. Our results demonstrate that a sound presented before and after a visual target increases or decreases the perceived visual duration depending on the inter-stimulus interval between

Abstract Reliability-based cue combination is a hallmark of multisensory integration, while the role of cue reliability for crossmodal recalibration is less understood. The present study investigated whether visual cue reliability affects audiovisual recalibration in adults and children. Participants had to localize sounds, which were presented either alone or in combination with a spatially discrepant high- or low-reliability visual stimulus. In a previous study we had shown that the ventriloquist effect (indicating multisensory integration) was overall larger in the children groups and that

Abstract:
It is generally accepted that human bipedal upright stance is achieved by feedback mechanisms that generate an appropriate corrective torque based on body-sway motion detected primarily by visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory systems. Because orientation information from the various senses is not always available (eyes closed) or accurate (compliant support surface), the postural control system must somehow adjust to maintain stance in a wide variety of environmental conditions. This is the sensorimotor integration problem that we investigated by evoking anterior-posterior (AP) body

The interaction of auditory and visual modalities in the enhancement of orientation was examined in premature and near-term infants by presenting them auditory or visual stimuli or auditory-visual stimulus combinations at various positions in sensory space. In 4.5–15-mo.-olds, brisk orienting responses could be elicited to very peripheral stimulus positions but only when the stimulus consisted of a spatially coherent auditory-visual combination (i.e., where a sound and a light occurred at the same point in space). This occurred for all infants, irrespective of age or gestational age at birth.

Abstract:
Responses of many neurons in primary visual cortex (V1) are suppressed by stimuli exceeding the classical receptive field (RF), an important property that might underlie the computation of visual saliency. Traditionally, it has proven difficult to disentangle the underlying neural circuits, including feedforward, horizontal intracortical, and feedback connectivity. Since circuit-level analysis is particularly feasible in the mouse, we asked whether neural signatures of spatial integration in mouse V1 are similar to those of higher-order mammals and investigated the role of parvalbumin-expressi

While there is a paucity of research detailing MSI in aging, we have demonstrated that older adults reveal the greatest reaction time (RT) benefit when presented with simultaneous visual-somatosensory (VS) stimuli. To our knowledge, the differential RT benefit of visual and somatosensory stimuli presented within and across spatial hemifields has not been

To remove possible variates, 26 older adults and 26 younger adults were recruited to conduct meaningless and semantic audio-visual discrimination tasks to assess the ageing effect of AVI systematically. The results for the mean response times showed a significantly faster response to the audio-visual (AV) target than that to the auditory (A) or visual (V) target and
