Adaptation in multisensory neurons
… most studied region in the mammalian brain for multisensory integration is the deep superior colliculus (DSC). Neurophysiological experiments have revealed many response properties of DSC neurons, such as cross-modal enhancement (CME) and sub-additive/additive/super-additive operational modes. …

UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS OF MULTISENSORY INTEGRATION
Multisensory integration, the process by which the brain integrates inputs from different senses, has enormous survival value, and the search for its guiding principles has yielded substantial insight into this remarkable process. At the single neuron level, responses are more robust to …

Speech enhancement using multisensory cooperative computing
… themes of the speech enhancement problem. First, Multisensory Cooperative Computing (MCC) is introduced, a deep neural architecture inspired by the context-sensitive processing of two-point layer five pyramidal neurons (L5PCs). Unlike conventional point neuron models that indiscriminately process …

Multisensory integration in subclinical neck pain
… integration, leading to the possibility that multisensory integration is also affected. Effective multisensory integration is important for many tasks at home and at work, making it important to know if it is altered in SCNP individuals, and whether any changes persist over time. A pilot study …

Multisensory integration in weakly electric fish
… are encoded by p-type tuberous receptors. Six multisensory neurons were found that responded to both categories of stimuli. However, when the stimuli were presented simultaneously, the responses to one of the two categories were suppressed. Further, in six neurons that responded to one …

Falls and multisensory processing: exploring multisensory perception as a potential rehabilitation avenue for fall-prone older adults
… citizens coincides with rapid developments in multisensory research. Research demonstrating older adults rely more on multisensory inputs compared to younger individuals, as well as mounting evidence linking multisensory processing abilities to cognitive and functional ageing present exciting …

Computational Study of Multisensory Gaze-Shift Planning
… investigations to inquire the nature of multisensory and oculomotor information processing in any of these three levels separately. Here in this thesis, we approach this problem as a single executive program and propose computational models for them in a unified framework. The first …

The Neural Substrates of Multisensory Speech Perception
… and visual modalities in a process known as multisensory integration. This allows speech perception to be accurate, even in environments in which one modality or the other is ambiguous in the context of noise. Previous electrophysiological and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …

Contrasting Dependent Variables in the Study of Multisensory Integration
Multisensory integration is the process by which the brain synthesizes sensory signals across multiple modalities to form a product that is distinct from its component signals. There is a vast and growing corpus of findings documenting the benefits of multisensory integration in a wide variety of …

Multisensory Integration in adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
… multiple stimuli into a single percept is called multisensory integration (MI). MI acts as a stimulus enhancer because the detection of parallel stimuli belonging to the same object is faster and more accurate than when only one stream of stimuli is presented. The faster detection of multimodal …

Unique Features and Neuronal Properties in a Multisensory Cortex
… OF ORGANIZATION AND NEURONAL PROPERTIES IN A MULTISENSORY CORTEX Multisensory processing is a ubiquitous sensory effect that underlies a wide variety of behaviors, such as detection and orientation, as well as perceptual phenomena from speech comprehension to binding. Such multisensory …

Accessible Exhibition Planning Through the Use of Multisensory Artwork
… is done through methods such as the inclusion of multisensory artwork and tactile aesthetics, and by making proper improvements to the structure of gallery spaces. This exhibition plan may be adapted for use by any organization wishing to provide better access to visitors who are visually …

Interactive and Incremental Learning via a Multisensory Mobile Robot
The thesis reports the design and implementation of our scheme for spoken language acquisition. In the thesis, we discuss the available resources and possible pitfalls for the robot project: we discuss the speech communication techniques that can be or cannot be used in our project; we choose the …

Multisensory models for human spatial orientation including threshold effects
E-Observer, a stand-alone executable version of the Observer model developed by Newman and Oman (2009), was developed. The complicated structure of the Observer model and its parameters made this conversion challenging. The resulting Windows PC executable uses a publically available library (MATLAB …

A multisensory observer model for human spatial orientation perception
Quantitative "observer" models for spatial orientation and eye movements have been developed based on 1-G data from humans and animals (e.g. Oman 1982, 1991, Merfeld, et al 1993, 2002; Haslwanter 2000, Vingerhoets 2006). These models assume that the CNS estimates "down", head angular velocity and …

Multisensory Therapeutic Garden for a General Special Education School
… elementary school, this project aims to create a multisensory experience that incorporates opportunities for play, education, community, and relaxation. Preliminary research explored the history of therapeutic landscapes and architectural design in historical psychiatric facilities, which then led …

Dendritic Spine Density Varies Between Unisensory and Multisensory Cortical Regions
… (PPr) and lateral rostral suprasylvian (LRSS) multisensory areas. Spine densities in S1 (avg 1.309 ± 0.247 spines/micron) and A1 (avg 1.343 ± 0.273 spines/micron) were measured to be significantly greater (p<0.05, t-test) than those observed in multisensory regions PPr (avg 1.242 ± 0.205 …
