Disturbances of multisensory processing in schizophrenia spectrum disorders: a behavioural and neurophysiological account
… might be associated with abnormal multisensory integration and abnormal bodily self-awareness. The primary goal of this thesis was to explore the behavioural and neurophysiological markers of self-disturbances in schizophrenia and in high schizotypy (i.e. a sub-clinical trait linked …

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 …

Intrinsic Features of the Multisensory Cortical Area LRSS in the Ferret
… by more than one sensory modality underlie multisensory processing in the CNS. While most studies of multisensory processing examine functional effects, none have evaluated the influence of local or columnar circuitry. The goal of the present study is to examine of local features of the …

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 …

Cross-Modal Projections from Auditory to Visual Cortices in the Ferret
… suggested that these projections are involved in multisensory processing in these lower-level, core areas of cortex. The present study was conducted to determine if similar connections occur in other higher mammals such as carnivores (ferrets; Mustela putorius). Large injections of sensitive …

Deficits in inhibitory function mediate age-related multisensory and postural function decline
… in a crowded, noisy room. Indeed, impaired multisensory processing has been consistently reported in older adults. Specifically, reduced sensitivity to temporal delays between bimodal cues, can affect the reliability of perceptual representations and lead to difficulties discerning …

Assessing the oscillatory properties of functional connections between sensory areas during crossmodal illusions: A correlational and causal investigation.
A comprehensive investigation on multisensory integration is presented whereby three complex studies investigating the role of neuro-oscillatory processes in tactile-visual and auditory-visual illusory tasks were conducted. Utilising EEG scanning we first replicated previous evidence of a …

Understanding the multimodal integration of emotional information during development
… and the voice. In Chapter 1, literature on multisensory processing in infants and children was reviewed, and the objectives of the thesis were described. In Chapter 2, processing for unisensory (sounds or body expressions) compared to audiovisual conditions (body expressions with sounds) was …

The Neural Development of Visuohaptic Object Processing
… with, as well as learning about, the surrounding multisensory environment. The inputs from multiple sensory modalities converge quickly and efficiently to guide this interaction. Vision and haptics are two modalities in particular that offer redundant and complementary information regarding the …

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the influence of multisensory processes and sensorimotor integration on motor performance
… learning, sensory integration, and somatosensory processing. ADHD is associated with difficulties in motor control, including alterations to neural structure and function. However, it is unknown how these characteristics may influence motor control in adulthood. Results from study one suggests …

Perfil funcional e sensorial de crianças com autismo: implicações para a terapia ocupacional
… performance in the auditory, visual and tactile processing, and the vestibular, oral and multisensory processing. As for items modulation, the most common changes were related to body position and movement and sensory and visual input affecting emotional response, whose items most children have …

The role of intensity, temporal synchrony, and biogenic amines for unimodal and multimodal integration during learning and memory of honey bees and bumble bees
… interplay between bimodal signal integration, multisensory processing, and the role of biogenic amines in learning and memory tasks of honey bees and bumble bees. The three chapters provide valuable insights into these interconnected concepts and on the mechanisms underlying bee’s behaviour. …

“Vicarious Exposure”: Experimental Studies Towards Developing Novel Therapies for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
… utility of the “rubber hand illusion” (RHI) and multisensory processing in OCD. Study 3 tested two novel smartphone interventions in subclinical OCD. In Study 1, OCD patients (n = 29) reported greater contamination sensations when watching the experimenter contaminating himself than healthy …

Modularity of the microcircuitry of the lateral cortex of the mouse inferior colliculus
… to its well-established functional role in processing sound information, one sub-region of the inferior colliculus, known as the lateral cortex, also receives massive input from somatosensory structures, and contains a network of anatomical modules that stain for GAD67 as well as other …

The Effects of Aging on Cross-Modal Attention
… that have been observed is an increase in multisensory integration. In the young brain, multisensory integration is governed by a combination of stimulus characteristics (spatial location, timing, and intensity) and higher-order cognitive constraints (semantic congruence, attention). Given …
