Multisensory integration: flexible use of general operations (2014, unknown): “Causal links between short-latency multisensory processes and behavior have been documented in TMS studies wherein sounds lower thresholds for phosphene induction (Romei et al., 2007, 2009, 2013).”

The multisensory function of the human primary visual cortex. (2016, background): “…temporal dynamics of this excitability enhancement show on the one hand that it occurs during early stages after sound onset (Romei et al., 2007), even at pre-perceptual stages (Romei et al., 2009), and that the effects depend on the pre-stimulus alpha phase of visual cortices (Romei et al., 2012).”
The COGs (context, object, and goals) in multisensory processing (2016, background): “For example, while the detection of the looming quality within multisensory stimuli controls perception outside of the observer’s awareness (Romei et al. 2009), its influence over later stages of information processing, following the stimulus offset, is dependent on the observer’s attentional prefer”
Top-down control and early multisensory processes: chicken vs. egg (2015, background): “Several aspects of this effect demonstrated by TMS studies in humans support the bottom-up nature of the eMSI and the causal links between eMSI and behavior (Romei et al., 2007, 2009, 2013; Spierer et al., 2013).”
Looming Signals Reveal Synergistic Principles of Multisensory Integration (2012, background): “This further highlights the behavioral relevance of early-latency and low-level multisensory interactions in humans (Romei et al., 2007, 2009; Sperdin et al., 2009, 2010; Noesselt et al., 2010; Van der Burg et al., 2011) as well as monkeys (Wang et al., 2008).”
Rhythmic TMS as a Feasible Tool to Uncover the Oscillatory Signatures of Audiovisual Integration (2023, background): “This evidence remarks the robustness of the SIFI and the extent to which this phenomenon is reliant on the cross-modal interplay between audition-relayed priors and occipital excitability [23,25,92].”
