Summary: This study investigates how cross-modal correspondence affects the recalibration of audiovisual integration. The results indicate that audiovisual signals congruent with cross-modal correspondence are selectively recalibrated.

Summary: Maintaining and coordinating multiple task-sets is difficult and leads to costs, however task-switching training can reduce these deficits. A recent study showed that training in task-switching can reduce performance costs in both trained and untrained modalities, regardless of age.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of vigorous running on the encoding of time using a time generalization task for visual and auditory stimuli. The results show that running expands perceived time regardless of sensory modality. However, there are independent timing mechanisms for different durations and sensory modalities. The study suggests a generalized interaction between the motor system and the brain's time mechanisms.

Summary: Through the study of behavioral and neural correlates of temporal recalibration, it was found that the hippocampus plays an important role in encoding and retrieving temporal stimulus associations, the activation in the cerebellum may reflect the retention of multiple representations of temporal stimulus associations, and sensorimotor predictions modulate recalibration-related processes, explaining the perceptual advantage of sensorimotor versus intersensory temporal recalibration.

Summary: Stimulation in one sensory modality can affect perception in another modality, resulting in diverse effects including illusions. This study found that cross-modal stimulation can rescue a species-typical acoustic preference in the presence of background noise.

Summary: This study compares the effectiveness of spatialization-based and pitch-based encodings in a visual-to-auditory sensory substitution device for object localization. The results show that pitch-based encodings are more accurate in localizing elevation, while there are only slight differences in azimuth localization performance between the encodings.

Summary: The adult brain shows remarkable plasticity by recalibrating its perceptual estimates based on information from multiple sensory sources. In this study, single-neuron activity was recorded in monkeys' brains, revealing that early multisensory cortices participate in unsupervised recalibration, while the VIP area reflects a global shift in vestibular space.

Summary: The brain estimates hand position using vision and proprioception. This study found that conscious awareness can reduce cross-sensory recalibration when there is a mismatch between visual and proprioceptive estimates, but only at larger mismatch magnitudes.

Summary: Cross-modal retrieval is a challenging task that aims to bridge the heterogeneous gap between different modalities. To address this challenge, researchers proposed a novel method called Cross-modal Discriminant Adversarial Network (CAN) which includes specific generators, discriminators, and a Cross-modal Discriminant Mechanism (CDM).

Summary: Natural scenes contain multi-modal information that can modulate neural encoding of low-level sensory features. Our study shows asymmetrical cross-modal interactions during the processing of natural scenes lacking rhythmicity, with congruent visual information enhancing low-level auditory processing, while congruent auditory information does not significantly modulate low-level visual processing.

Summary: The study demonstrated that visual MMN exhibited deviance detection properties, with the first-generation focus of visual MMN localized in the visual cortex. Additionally, cross-modal information processing influenced MMN, showing a non-linear relationship between single-modal and cross-modal MMNs.

Summary: The literature on time perception in individuals with ADHD is extensive but inconsistent. This study found that individuals with ADHD have severe impairment in milliseconds time thresholds, while their thresholds in the seconds range are indistinguishable from neurotypical individuals. The results suggest partially separate mechanisms for time perception in the ranges of milliseconds and seconds, and a pure timing deficit in individuals with ADHD.

Summary: This study investigates the differences in N1m and MMNm activity in motor-auditory cross-modal tasks between schizophrenic and normal control subjects. The findings suggest that schizophrenic patients have altered predictive processes and tend to misattribute their inner experience to external agents, resulting in characteristic schizophrenia symptoms.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the structural dynamic changes of neurons in the auditory cortex after visual deprivation. The results showed that the turnover rate of dendritic spines in the auditory cortex increased during the first week and persisted for up to three weeks after bilateral enucleation. Additionally, the density and size of the spines decreased significantly at two and three weeks post-nucleation. Furthermore, the normalized spine size in the auditory cortex significantly increased after bilateral blindness.
