Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, methodology): “…top–down influence, often referred to in the literature as the ‘unity assumption,’ is thought to occur in those situations in which an observer considers that various of the unisensory stimuli that they have been presented with belong to one and the same object or event (Welch and Warren, 1980).”
Audio-visual speech perception is special. (2005, background): “Welch & Warren, 1980 ) although we are aware that this definition may not hold if the”
Perception of intersensory synchrony: A tutorial review (2010, unknown): “…as information from different modalities share more (amodal) properties, the more likely it is that the brain treats them as originating from a common object or source (see, e.g., Bedford, 1989; Bertelson, 1999; Radeau, 1994; Spence, 2007; Stein & Meredith, 1993; Welch, 1999; Welch & Warren, 1980).”
When correlation implies causation in multisensory integration. (2012, unknown): “Inferring which signals have a common underlying cause, and hence should be integrated, represents a primary challenge for a perceptual system dealing with multiple sensory inputs [1–3].”
Bayesian Inference Explains Perception of Unity and Ventriloquism Aftereffect: Identification of Common Sources of Audiovisual Stimuli (2007, background): “The idea that the source of the audiovisual stimuli plays a crucial role in audiovisual integration has been termed the unity assumption (Welch & Warren, 1980) or pairing (Epstein, 1975).”
The COGs (context, object, and goals) in multisensory processing (2016, background): “The degree to which the observer expects/believes the two inputs originate from the same source has long been proposed to impact multisensory processing (the “unity assumption”; Welch and Warren 1980).”
Unifying multisensory signals across time and space (2004, unknown): “…1998; Bertelson and Radeau 1981; Choe et al. 1975; Hairston et al. 2003; Jack and Thurlow 1973; Lewald and Guski 2003; Lewald et al. 2001; Pick et al. 1969; Radeau and Bertelson 1987; Slutsky and Recanzone 2001; Thomas 1941; Thurlow and Jack 1973; Warren et al. 1981; Welch and Warren 1980).”
When vision ‘extinguishes’ touch in neurologically-normal people: extending the Colavita visual dominance effect (2008, background): “According to research on the ‘unity assumption’ (e.g., Spence 2007; Vatakis and Spence 2007; Welch 1999; Welch and Warren 1980), stimuli are increasingly likely to be perceived as reXecting a single, unitary event, the more amodal properties (i.e., those that can be deWned without reference to a…”
Humans integrate visual and haptic information in a statistically optimal fashion (2002, background): “Shaded area represents predicted weights expected from within-modality discrimination (a; equation (5)); its height represents predicted errors given the standard errors of the within-modality discrimination.”
Multisensory integration: flexible use of general operations (2014, unknown): “We illustrate this proposition by unifying recent findings from different research themes such as timing, behavioral goal, and experience-related differences in integration.”
Sensory reliability shapes perceptual inference via two mechanisms. (2015, unknown): “…only be integrated when they are close in time, space, and structure (Lee & Noppeney, 2014; Lewald & Guski, 2003; Lewis & Noppeney, 2010; Noppeney, Ostwald, & Werner, 2010; Roach, Heron, & McGraw, 2006; Rohe & Noppeney, 2015; Slutsky & Recanzone, 2001; Wallace et al., 2004; Welch & Warren, 1980).”
