Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, background): “…research has demonstrated that the effect of multisensory integration is more pronounced when the participants attend to stimuli in both sensory modalities rather than focusing on just the stimulus in one modality (e.g., Talsma et al., 2007; Mozolic et al., 2008; Fairhall and Macaluso, 2009).”
Contextual factors multiplex to control multisensory processes (2016, result): “This notion has been challenged by other behavioral [e.g., Sanabria et al., 2007], event-related potential [ERP; e.g., Matusz and Eimer, 2013; Talsma et al., 2007], and neuroimaging [e.g., Fairhall and Macaluso, 2009] findings, supporting the claim that attention can affect multisensory outcomes…”
Pip and pop: nonspatial auditory signals improve spatial visual search. (2008, background): “This would be consistent with other evidence that auditory–visual integration requires at least some attention (see, e.g., Alsius, Navarra, Campbell, & Soto-Faraco, 2005; Talsma et al., 2007).”
Multisensory integration: current issues from the perspective of the single neuron (2008, neutral): “This suggests that top-down influences could affect relatively early sensory encoding, which in turn could underlie a host of well-documented multisensory attentional effect”
Multisensory Interplay Reveals Crossmodal Influences on ‘Sensory-Specific’ Brain Regions, Neural Responses, and Judgments (2008, neutral): “Talsma et al. (2007) reported modulation of the auditory P50 arising only when subjects attended to both audition and vision, highlighting a possible interdependence between multisensory interplay and attention (see also Talsma et al., 2006).”
How prior expectations shape multisensory perception (2016, background): “…loss, auditory weight is reduced (Ernst and Banks, 2002; Helbig et al., 2012)), general sensory dominance or potentially inter-sensory attention (Foxe et al., 2013; Ross et al., 2007; Rouger et al., 2008; Schwartz, 2010; Senkowski et al., 2008; Talsma et al., 2007; van Wassenhove et al., 2005).”
Preattentive processing of audio-visual emotional signals. (2011, positive): “There are studies reporting that the integration of crossmodal information pertaining to objects depends on attention (e.g., Talsma et al., 2007).”
Modality-specific selective attention attenuates multisensory integration (2007, methodology): “The behavioral findings from this experiment are in accord with results from an ERP study suggesting that the multisensory integration effects that can be detected when participants attend to both the visual and auditory modality are absent when participants attend to only one sensory modality (Tals”
Dual mechanisms for the cross-sensory spread of attention: how much do learned associations matter? (2010, background): “…from an attended visual stimulus to a simultaneously presented task-irrelevant sound, whether through the stimulus-driven or representation-driven processes, had previously been shown to onset anywhere from 180 to 250 ms poststimulus (Busse et al. 2005; Molholm et al. 2007; Talsma et al. 2007).”
Spatial attention can modulate audiovisual integration at multiple cortical and subcortical sites (2009, background): “Furthermore, previous studies demonstrating attentional modulation of MI used electroencephalography (Talsma et al., 2007) that has a relatively low spatial resolution and is likely to miss any effect in subcortical regions [but see Busse et al., 2005 using functional magnetic resonance imaging…”
The Curious Incident of Attention in Multisensory Integration: Bottom-up vs. Top-down (2016, neutral): “, saliency effects) were influenced by modality-specific (or spatial) attention already at 100 ms poststimulus (Talsma and Woldorff, 2005; Talsma et al., 2007).”
Multisensory perception of the six basic emotions is modulated by attentional instruction and unattended modality (2015, background): “ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE published: 02 February 2015 doi: 10.3389/fnint.2015.00001 Multisensory perception of the six basic emotions is modulated by attentional instruction and unattended modality”
Top-down control and early multisensory processes: chicken vs. egg (2015, background): “In one study participants detected infrequent targets in one of two central streams of rapidly presented alphanumeric symbols or combinations of beeps and flashes (Talsma et al., 2007).”
Does crossmodal correspondence modulate the facilitatory effect of auditory cues on visual search? (2012, background): “Considering the evidence that attention is sometimes essential for crossmodal binding (see, e.g., Alsius et al., 2005; Fairhall & Macaluso, 2009; Talsma et al., 2007), it may be that those tasks in which the attentional focus is rather narrow from the very beginning, such as simple detection tasks…”
Attentional Resource Allocation in Visuotactile Processing Depends on the Task, But Optimal Visuotactile Integration Does Not Depend on Attentional Resources (2016, methodology): “…multisensory integration is an automatic process has been challenged by several studies (Alsius et al., 2005, 2007, 2014; Talsma and Woldorff, 2005; Talsma et al., 2007; Mozolic et al., 2008; Van der Burg et al., 2008; Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience | www.frontiersin.org 2 March 2016 |…”
The COGs (context, object, and goals) in multisensory processing (2016, background): “For example, Talsma et al. (2007) instructed participants to detect rare target stimuli within either of two centrally presented streams of letter and digits or basic stimuli (beeps and flashes).”
