Psychophysical experiments and computational modeling demonstrate the importance of transient, instead of sustained, channels for the integration of audiovisual signals.

Computational modeling of behavioral and neural data from monkeys points towards a flat decision-making process in which the brain considers all possible final outcomes simultaneously.

Individuals with reversed congenital cataracts perceived visual events as occurring earlier than auditory and tactile events revealing that cross-modal temporal biases depend on sensory experience during an early sensitive period.

Building on previous work (Felch et al., 2016), it is shown that inverse effectiveness, a central property of multisensory integration, in the optic tectum is mediated by the activation of NMDA-type glutamate receptors, resulting in a response greater than the sum of responses to each individual sensory modality.

Teaching a tactile alphabet to sighted adults reveals the brain’s unexpected potential for change.

The use of metaphorical concepts is not unique to humans.

Sleep and wake states are not sufficient to drive changes in neocortical synaptic strengths.
