Causal inference shapes crossmodal postdiction in multisensory integration https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-026-36884-6 on how we integrate multisensory information backward in time.

Causal inference shapes crossmodal postdiction in multisensory integration - Scientific Reports
In our environment, stimuli from different sensory modalities are initially processed within a temporal window of multisensory integration spanning several hundred milliseconds. During this window, stimulus processing is influenced not only by preceding and current information, but also by input that follows the stimulus. The computational mechanisms underlying crossmodal backward processing, which we refer to as crossmodal postdiction, are not well understood. We examined crossmodal postdictio…

Visual and tactile motion cues enhance the categorisation of novel object shapes #multisensory

Visual and tactile motion cues enhance the categorisation of novel object shapes - Experimental Brain Research
Object categorisation is a fundamental cognitive process, involving the integration of information across the senses. We investigated, using smartphones, whether visual and tactile motion cues could enhance object category learning and generalisation to novel object shapes. Two categories of similar shapes were associated with specific correlated visual and tactile vibration motion cues. After learning object categories, participants were assessed on categorisation of learned and novel objects …
