Article Abstract
Background: Using event-related potentials (ERPs), we aimed to investigate audiovisual integration neural mechanisms during a letter identification task in the left and right sides. Unimodal (A,V) and bimodal (AV) stimuli were presented on either side, with ERPs from unimodal (A,V) stimuli on the same side being compared to those from simultaneous bimodal stimuli (AV). Non-zero results of the AV-(A + V) difference waveforms indicated audiovisual integration on the left/right side.
Results: When spatially coherent AV stimuli were presented on the right side, two significant ERP components in the integrated differential wave were noted. The N134 and N262, present in the first 300 ms of the AV-(A + V) integration difference wave, indicated significant audiovisual integration effects. However, when these stimuli were presented on the left side, there were no significant integration components. This audiovisual integration difference may stem from left/right asymmetry of cerebral hemisphere language processing.
Conclusions: Audiovisual letter information presented on the right side was easier to integrate, process, and represent. Additionally, only one significant integrative component peaked at 140 ms in the parietal cortex for spatially non-coherent AV stimuli and provided audiovisual multisensory integration, which could be attributed to some integrative neural processes that depend on the spatial congruity of the auditory and visual stimuli.

Audio-visual event localization (AVEL) aims to recognize events in videos by associating audio-visual information. However, events involved in existing AVEL tasks are usually coarse-grained events. Actually, finer-grained events are sometimes necessary to be distinguished, especially in certain expert-level applications or rich-content-generation studies.

There is emerging evidence that a performer's body movements may enhance music-induced pleasure. However, the neural mechanism underlying such modulation remains largely unexplored. This study utilized behavioral, psychophysiological and electroencephalographic data collected from 32 listeners (analyzed sample = 31) as they watched and listened to vocal (Mandarin lyrics) and violin performances of pop music videos.

Action representation and the sharing of feature coding within the Action Observation Network (AON) remain debated, and our understanding of how the brain consistently encodes action features across sensory modalities under variable, naturalistic conditions is still limited. Here, we introduce a theoretically-based taxonomic model of action representation that categorizes action-related features into six conceptual domains: Space, Effector, Agent & Object, Social, Emotion, and Linguistic. We assessed the predictive power of this model on human brain activity by acquiring functional MRI (fMRI) data from participants exposed to audiovisual, visual-only, or auditory-only versions of the same naturalistic movie.

The pulvinar is a posterior thalamic nucleus, with a heterogeneous anatomo-functional organization. It is divided into four parts, including the medial pulvinar, which is densely connected with primary unisensory and multisensory cortical regions, and subcortical structures, including the superior colliculus. Based on this connectivity, the medial pulvinar may play an important role in sensory processing and multisensory integration.

Estimating time and making predictions is integral to our experience of the world. Given the importance of timing to most behaviors, disruptions in temporal processing and timed performance are reported in a number of neuropsychiatric disorders such as Schizophrenia, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), and Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Symptoms that implicitly include disruption in timing are atypical turn-taking during social interactions, unusual verbal intonations, poor reading, speech and language skills, inattention, delays in learning, and difficulties making predictions.
