New insights on the ventral attention network: Active suppression and involuntary recruitment during a bimodal task

This study investigates the role of the ventral attention network (VAN) and dorsal attention network (DAN) in multimodal attentional reorientation using MEG, finding that alpha/beta oscillations modulate VAN and DAN activity during top-down attention and involuntary attentional capture.

Sensory- and memory-related drivers for altered ventriloquism effects and aftereffects in older adults

This study investigates age-related changes in ventriloquism effects and aftereffects by comparing young and older adults, finding that reduced spatial hearing and memory capacity contribute to altered multisensory integration.

Using the past to estimate sensory uncertainty

This study shows that humans integrate past and current sensory signals to estimate uncertainty, challenging models that assume uncertainty is based only on current stimuli.
