Shit, I started doing that in my 20s. Focus is multisensory!

Fusing multisensory signals across channels and time.

Now published at PLOS Comp Biol! 🎉 With @swathianil.bsky.social and @marcusghosh.bsky.social.

TLDR, when multisensory signals vary over time, neural architecture becomes important. Biggest not always best.

Respiration facilitates behaviour during multisensory integration
The brain processes information from the external environment alongside signals generated by the body. Among bodily rhythms, respiration emerges as a key modulator of sensory processing. Multisensory ...

Check the stove burner knobs before leaving for work; I must touch each one and say "off" for each one. I need multisensory assurance so that I can remember later in the day that I did indeed leave nothing on. [which i did, once]

In a new paper in Communications Psychology, we show that automatic multisensory integration follows subjective confidence instead of objective accuracy. These findings provide a link between early cue combination and late metacognitive processes.

Had a great time discussing multisensory integration @imrf.bsky.social!

And really enjoyed sharing our new work too

Check out our new multisensory decision study!
We tackle a decades-old Q: does faster detection of bimodal targets come from a race or co-activation between modalities? And also a vital, orthogonal Q: is it one decision process or two?
A1: co-activation
A2: two!

We used mixed reality to explore how manipulating multisensory integration leads to dis-ownership from the body and how those experiences relate to trait dissociation

The authors of a Nature paper outlining a mechanism for multisensory memories in Drosophila melongaster have retracted the work after they were unable to replicate a set of imaging experiments.

Researchers retract multisensory learning paper
Even though one set of experiments did not hold up, the authors stand by the original conclusions of the work and plan to resubmit it as a new paper.

this one is really interesting though. they found that schizophrenic and bipolar patients had a much harder time with processing time/when things happened (about the same rate of difficulty, and correlated with severity of psychotic symptoms) even when not in an active episode
