Behavioral and computational results show that the perception of our body as our own depends on Bayesian probabilistic reasoning that take into account the variations in sensory uncertainty when integrating visual and somatosensory cues.

Early and late visual deprivation trigger a redeployment mechanism that reallocate part of the processing typically tagging the preserved senses (i.e. the temporal cortex for auditory stimulation) to the occipital cortex deprived of its most salient visual input.

The brain processes the same multisensory stimulus differently when the way it sounds, as opposed to the way it looks, is useful for making a decision.

A new computational model reveals how implicit sensorimotor adaptation is elicited to re-align one's felt and desired hand position.

When all features of conflicting sensory input are task-irrelevant, the brain can still process its sensory information, whereas conflict detection requires that minimally one stimulus feature is task-relevant or associated with a response.

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

Humans retrospectively localize touch after deciding on which limb it occurred, challenging the mainstream idea that tactile location in space is the basis for assigning touch to a body part.

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.

The categorical organization of the ventral occipito-temporal cortex, typically thought to be a visual region, is actually partially independent of visual input and even visual experience.

The different laminar profiles observed across the cortical depth for multisensory and attentional influences indicate partly distinct neural circuitries of information-flow control.
