Continual Lifelong Learning with Neural Networks: A Review (2018, background): “Multisensory Learning The ability to integrate multisensory information is a crucial feature of the brain that yields a coherent, robust, and efficient interaction with the environment (Spence, 2014; Ernst and Bülthoff, 2004; Stein and Meredith, 1993).”
Emergence of multimodal action representations from neural network self-organization (2017, background): “A vast corpus of studies has shown the ability of the brain to integrate multimodal information for providing a coherent perceptual experience (Ernst & Bulthoff, 2004; Stein & Meredith, 1993; Stein et al., 2009).”
Spatiotemporal Movement Planning and Rapid Adaptation for Manual Interaction (2013, methodology): “Finally, we modeled the observed processes leading to successful handover in a probabilistic framework [18,19].”
Affective cognition: Exploring lay theories of emotion. (2015, methodology): “Do forward and reverse inferences cohere as predicted by Bayesian inference?”
Principles of sensorimotor learning (2011, background): “First, multiple streams of sensory information, within and across modalities (for example, visual and tactile inputs), can be optimally combined to achieve estimates that reduce the effects of noise (for a review see Ref”
Audiovisual integration of emotional signals from music improvisation does not depend on temporal correspondence. (2010, background): “For example, the relevance of the auditory signal could reflect the influence of different kinds of top-down factors on multisensory processes (Ernst and Bülthoff, 2004; Vatakis and Spence, 2007).”
Do early sensory cortices integrate cross-modal information? (2007, background): “Behavioral studies of sensory integration, for example those described in the introduction, usually differentiate the two stages of sensory combination and integration (Ernst and Bulthoff 2004): First, sensory combination leads to increased information about the environment as a result of merging no”
When vision ‘extinguishes’ touch in neurologically-normal people: extending the Colavita visual dominance effect (2008, neutral): “This research has led both to a better understanding of the conditions governing the interaction between the senses (e.g., Ernst and BülthoV 2004; Spence 2007), as well as to a better understanding of the physiological processes and neural substrates underlying many of these interactions (e.g.,…”
Cross-correlation between auditory and visual signals promotes multisensory integration. (2013, background): “Solving the crossmodal correspondence problem, that is, inferring which signals have a common underlying cause, and hence provide redundant information that should be integrated, is a crucial task for a perceptual system trying to make sense of multiple sensory inputs (Ernst and Bülthoff, 2004; Sham”
Multisensory Interplay Reveals Crossmodal Influences on ‘Sensory-Specific’ Brain Regions, Neural Responses, and Judgments (2008, neutral): “Such joint estimates may be ''optimal'' in a formal sense, weighting each modality's contribution by its reliability/variability for the property concerned (e.g., Alais and Burr, 2004; Ernst and Bulthoff, 2004; Helbig and Ernst, 2007).”
