Audiovisual simultaneity windows reflect temporal sensory uncertainty
The ability to judge the temporal alignment of visual and auditory information is a prerequisite for multisensory integration and segregation....

Widening the screen: embodied cognition and audiovisual online social interaction in the digital age
Online audiovisual interaction (AVOI), though minimal, constitutes a form of embodiment. This implies that empathy can be fostered even in...
-
Audiovisual adaptation is expressed in spatial and decisional codes
The brain adapts dynamically to the changing sensory statistics of its environment. Recent research has started to delineate the neural circuitries...

Brain Activity of Professional Dancers During Audiovisual Stimuli Exposure: A Systematic Review
Many studies have shown the effect of dance to the brain. It seems that long-term practice modulates brain plasticity and visuomotor skills, as it...

Brain activity during shadowing of audiovisual cocktail party speech, contributions of auditory–motor integration and selective attention
Selective listening to cocktail-party speech involves a network of auditory and inferior frontal cortical regions. However, cognitive and motor...
