Two senses, one rhythm: Pre- and post-stimulus neural states predict perceived audio-visual synchrony

The paper investigates how pre- and post-stimulus neural states predict perceived audio-visual synchrony using MEG and frequency-tagging analysis.

Stereotactic electroencephalography in humans reveals multisensory signal in early visual and auditory cortices

The paper uses SEEG recordings to show multisensory signals in early visual and auditory cortices during an audio-visual task, revealing cross-modal responses and frequency-specific modulations.

Hierarchical brain network for face and voice integration of emotion expression

This study identifies the right posterior superior temporal sulcus as a site of multisensory integration for emotional expressions from faces and voices.

A (blue) light in the dark: Blue light modulates oscillatory alpha activity in the occipital cortex of totally visually blind individuals with intact non-visual photoreception

This study shows that blue light modulates alpha rhythm in the occipital cortex of totally blind individuals with non-visual light perception, suggesting ipRGCs influence brain activity beyond vision.

Neuronal populations in the occipital cortex of the blind synchronize to the temporal dynamics of speech

This study shows that occipital cortex in early blind individuals synchronizes with speech acoustic fluctuations and has altered connectivity related to speech intelligibility.

Functional selectivity for face processing in the temporal voice area of early deaf individuals

The paper shows that early deaf individuals exhibit enhanced face processing in the auditory cortex, which typically handles voice processing in hearing people.
