The paper shows that short-latency visual signals in primates can bypass the primary visual cortex when combined with auditory stimuli, affecting saccadic eye movements.

Sound-shape correspondences in macaques reveal evolutionary roots of sound symbolism

This study shows that macaques exhibit the Bouba-Kiki effect, suggesting sound-shape correspondences are a conserved vertebrate trait that may have influenced the evolution of symbolic communication.

A cortical hierarchy of sensory representations from physical structure to idiosyncratic perception

The paper uses fMRI to show that sensory cortices reflect physical similarity more than idiosyncratic perceptual similarity, while the left angular gyrus reflects idiosyncratic similarity across modalities.
