Summary: The multisensory neural network integrates and interacts vision, touch, hearing, smell, and taste, enabling crossmodal recognition and imagination, presenting a promising approach for robotic sensing and perception. Tan et al. report an artificial spiking multisensory neural network that mimics the crossmodal perception of biological brains.

Summary: Crossmodal correspondences are consistent mappings between perceptual dimensions or stimuli from different sensory domains. Human movement augmentation, which aims to enhance motor abilities through artificial devices, faces the challenge of relaying supplementary information to users. This article explores the potential role of crossmodal correspondences in human augmentation and discusses three ways in which they can impact motor control and embodiment.

Summary: Integration of sensory signals from the same source can enhance perception. The binding tendency, which refers to the inclination to combine stimuli, is influenced by factors like prior expectations. It can be learned through experience and affected by cognitive knowledge. The plasticity of binding tendency varies across individuals and over time. Understanding and increasing binding tendency can have important applications in clinical settings.

Summary: This article explores the process of multisensory integration and its development in a multisensory environment. It proposes that experience dependent crossmodal synaptic plasticity may be a mechanism underlying the development of multisensory cue integration. The hypothesis is tested using a computational model and simulated experiments.

Summary: Seeing the speaker's face improves speech understanding in noisy environments due to the brain's ability to integrate audio and visual information. Selective attention plays a crucial role in our understanding, but how attention and multisensory integration interact during natural speech remains unclear. Using EEG data, we found evidence for multisensory integration of attended audiovisual speech and suppression of integration for unattended speech. Early integration occurred for unattended speech, but not at later processing levels. These findings suggest that natural audio and visual speech integration happens at multiple processing levels and is influenced by attention.

Summary: The study investigated whether multisensory learning can be based on high-level feature congruency without perceptual congruency, and how this relates to changes in brain function and behavior. The results suggest that multisensory learning is potentially based on high-level features without perceptual congruency, and involves neural representations of stimulus features involved in learning.

Summary: Individuals with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa show alterations in body experience, potentially related to impairments in multisensory integration abilities. Studies suggest abnormal multisensory integration in Anorexia Nervosa, but limited evidence is available for Bulimia Nervosa. These findings contribute to a better understanding of these complex and poorly understood disorders.

Summary: Processing ambiguous situations in everyday life requires integrating sensory input from different modalities to form a coherent mental representation of the environment. Studying the bouncing/streaming illusion provides insights into the perception and processing of ambiguous multi-modal environments. Neuroimaging studies have shown that the right posterior parietal cortex is crucial in cross-modal integration and is active during the bouncing/streaming illusion. However, transcranial direct current stimulation did not modulate multi-modal integration, possibly because the integration process already functions at maximum capacity or because prefrontal decision-making areas overruled the modulation from the posterior parietal cortex.

Summary: Texture is perceived through multisensory information. This study found that haptic and auditory exploration activated somatosensory, auditory, and visual cortices, challenging the traditional view. Audio-tactile integration was found in secondary somatosensory (S2) and primary auditory cortices. Multisensory textures are represented in primary areas and S2, which has implications for how the brain processes multisensory cues.

Summary: This study investigates how sensory processing in sensory cortices is modulated by cross-modal interaction during perceptual tasks. The researchers recorded neural responses in the primary auditory cortex of rats performing discrimination tasks with audiovisual or unisensory cues. They found that cross-modal representation in auditory cortices varies with task contexts, with a significant increase in visually evoked responses during tasks with an audiovisual cue associated with reward. Additionally, associative learning seemed to have a plastic effect on multisensory enhancement in the auditory cortex. These findings suggest that multisensory processing in sensory cortices is not static and can be substantially enhanced by cross-modal interaction.

Summary: This study investigated age-related changes in inhibitory activity in the sensorimotor cortex and found that inhibitory activity decreases with age, leading to declines in motor ability and dexterity. Using a large dataset, the researchers observed that the magnitude and spatial extent of inhibitory activity decrease, while excitatory activity increases with age. The balance between inhibitory and excitatory activity also undergoes changes during the aging process.

Summary: Lucid dreaming is a mental state where we are aware that we are dreaming while asleep. It involves resolving prediction error signals and generating a superordinate self-model to integrate ambiguous stimuli. Multisensory integration and attentional control play important roles in maintaining lucidity and perceptual experiences.

Summary: When listening to continuous speech, vibrotactile feedback presented at the rate of syllables can enhance speech comprehension. The enhancement occurs when vibrotactile pulses occur at the perceptual center of the syllables, while a temporal delay between the vibrotactile signals and the speech stream can lower speech comprehension. Electroencephalographic recordings show that audiotactile integration modulates the neural response to the speech rhythm and vibrotactile pulses, and these neural activities reflect the behavioral effects on speech comprehension.

Summary: Neuroimaging studies have shown that the neural representations of reaching and grasping actions may be shared between different body parts. This study examined if there are effector-independent mechanisms in reaching and grasping by comparing the kinematic features of hand and foot actions. The findings suggest that there are effector-independent visuomotor mechanisms in reaching and grasping that generalize across body parts, but differences exist due to biomechanical factors and participants' inexperience with foot actions.
