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.
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.

Five mouse models of autism show deficits in delay eyeblink conditioning, a form of split-second sensory learning that involves the cerebellum, a frequent site of disruption in autistic brains.

Individuals within the autism spectrum disorder implicitly outweigh integration (rather than segregating) when performing causal inference and have developed an explicit compensatory mechanism as reflected in choice biases.

Human perception and brain responses differ between words, in which mouth movements are visible before the voice is heard, and words, for which the reverse is true.
The visually deprived brain processes sensory letter information in tactile areas but perceptual letter information in sighted reading areas, revealing experience-dependent brain plasticity.
A spatial analysis of auditory and non-auditory properties of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the mouse dorsal inferior colliculus defines the border between the lateral and the dorsal cortex.
