Dipartimento di Psicologia, Universita di Milano Bicocca, Piazza dell Ateneo Nuovo 1, 20126 Milan, Italy
Trends Cogn Sci 8:79-86. 2004..These relatively simple neural and behavioural aspects of tool-use shed light on more complex evolutionary and cognitive aspects of body representation and multisensory space coding for action...
Is audiovisual integration subserved by the superior colliculus in humans?Angelo Maravita
Psychology Department, University of Milano Bicocca, Milano, Italy
Neuroreport 19:271-5. 2008..These data suggest that audiovisual integration in humans occurs very early during sensory processing, in the SC...- TMS modulation of visual and auditory processing in the posterior parietal cortexNadia Bolognini

University of Milano Bicocca, Italy
J Cogn Neurosci 22:1201-11. 2010..Furthermore, the involvement of auditory cortex in somatosensory processing supports the view that multisensory integration occurs at an early stage of cortical processing... - Proprioceptive alignment of visual and somatosensory maps in the posterior parietal cortexNadia Bolognini
Department of Psychology, University of Milano Bicocca, 20126 Milan, Italy
Curr Biol 17:1890-5. 2007..This is the first causal evidence in humans that the PPC constantly updates the representation of the body in space in order to facilitate crossmodal interactions... - Auditory enhancement of visual phosphene perception: the effect of temporal and spatial factors and of stimulus intensityNadia Bolognini
Department of Psychology, University of Milano Bicocca, Milano, Italy
Neurosci Lett 477:109-14. 2010..Overall, our findings reveal early auditory-visual interactions due to the enhancement of visual cortical excitability by auditory stimuli. These interactions may reflect an underlying anatomical connectivity between unisensory cortices... - Enhancing multisensory spatial orienting by brain polarization of the parietal cortexNadia Bolognini
Department of Psychology, University of Milano Bicocca, Viale dell Innovazione 10, 20126 Milano, Italy

Dipartimento di Psicologia, Universita di Milano Bicocca, Via dell Innovazione, 10, 20126, Milano, Italy
Neuropsychologia 48:334-40. 2010..Furthermore, the double dissociation found in USN patients suggests that the metrics of body parts and of extrapersonal objects are supported by independent spatial processes... - Somatic and motor components of action simulationAlessio Avenanti
Dipartimento di Psicologia, Universita degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza, Via dei Marsi 78, I 00185 Rome, Italy
Curr Biol 17:2129-35. 2007..The reported double dissociation suggests that vPMc and S1 play an active, differential role in simulating efferent and afferent components of observed actions... - Preattentive interference between touch and audition: a case study on multisensory alloesthesiaStephanie Ortigue
Functional Brain Mapping Laboratory, Department of Neurology, University Hospital of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
Neuroreport 16:865-8. 2005..Our data suggest that auditory-tactile integration and multisensory alloesthesia not only depend on attentional mechanisms, but also on somatotopic preattentive mechanisms... - Audiotactile temporal order judgmentsMassimiliano Zampini
Crossmodal Research Group, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3UD, UK
Acta Psychol (Amst) 118:277-91. 2005..Thus, relative spatial position seems to be a less important factor in determining performance for audiotactile TOJ than for other modality pairings (e.g., audiovisual and visuotactile)... - Multisensory contributions to the 3-D representation of visuotactile peripersonal space in humans: evidence from the crossmodal congruency taskCharles Spence
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3UD, UK
J Physiol Paris 98:171-89. 2004..In this review, we detail the major findings from this research, and highlight areas of convergence with other cognitive neuroscience disciplines... - Attentional load and sensory competition in human vision: modulation of fMRI responses by load at fixation during task-irrelevant stimulation in the peripheral visual fieldSophie Schwartz
Laboratory for Neurology and Imaging of Cognition, Department of Neurosciences, University of Geneva, Switzerland
Cereb Cortex 15:770-86. 2005..These distinct mechanisms in selective visual processing may be integrated within posterior parietal areas, rather than earlier occipital cortex... - Multisensory integration and the body schema: close to hand and within reachAngelo Maravita
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, UK
Curr Biol 13:R531-9. 2003..These new results indicate that a modern cognitive neuroscience approach to the classical concept of the 'body schema' may now be within reach... - Active tool use with the contralesional hand can reduce cross-modal extinction of touch on that handAngelo Maravita
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London and Imperial College School of Medicine, London, UK
Neurocase 8:411-6. 2002..This can then overcome competition between stimuli presented on opposite sides of the body midline, thus modulating extinction... - The electrophysiology of tactile extinction: ERP correlates of unconscious somatosensory processingMartin Eimer
Department of Psychology, Birkbeck College, University of London, Malet Street, WC1E 7HX, London, UK
Neuropsychologia 40:2438-47. 2002..They also suggest that tactile extinction can be caused by attenuation rather than elimination of somatosensory responses in the damaged hemisphere, with an underlying deficit even on unilateral trials... - Seeing your own touched hands in a mirror modulates cross-modal interactionsAngelo Maravita
