Abstract: From Kant to current perspectives in neuroaesthetics, the experience of beauty has been described as disinterested, i.e. focusing on the stimulus perceptual features while neglecting self-referred concerns. At a neurophysiological level, some indirect evidence suggests… read more here.

Abstract: Cross-modal integration is ubiquitous within perception and, in humans, the McGurk effect demonstrates that seeing a person articulating speech can change what we hear into a new auditory percept. It remains unclear whether cross-modal integration… read more here.

Abstract: Mental-spatial representations are often used for processing quantities and magnitudes such as numbers or pitch. The present study investigates whether the active creation of associations between space and pitch magnitude leads to a better estimation… read more here.
