In the social world, multiple sensory channels are used concurrently to facilitate communication.
Among human and nonhuman primates, faces and voices are the primary means of …

Vocal-tract resonances (or formants) are acoustic signatures in the voice and are related to
the shape and length of the vocal tract. Formants play an important role in human …

Looming objects produce ecologically important signals that can be perceived in both the
visual and auditory domains. Using a preferential looking technique with looming and …

The ability to integrate information across multiple sensory systems offers several behavioral
advantages, from quicker reaction times and more accurate responses to better detection …

To interact with our dynamic environment, the brain merges motion information from auditory
and visual senses. However, not only “natural” auditory MOTION, but also “metaphoric” de/…

We use both vision and audition when localizing objects and events in our environment.
However, these sensory systems receive spatial information in different coordinate systems: …

Smells can arise from a source external to the body and stimulate the olfactory epithelium
upon inhalation through the nares (orthonasal olfaction). Alternatively, smells may arise from …

Looming signals (signals that indicate the rapid approach of objects) are behaviorally
relevant signals for all animals. Accordingly, studies in primates (including humans) reveal …

Food perception and preference formation relies on the ability to combine information from
both the taste and olfactory systems. Accordingly, psychophysical investigations in humans …

During early development, brains undergo profound changes in structure at the molecular,
synaptic, cellular and circuit level. At the same time, brains need to perform adaptive function. …
