Multisensory contributions to spatial perception

This chapter discusses the sensory systems that have been shown to contribute to spatial perception – vestibular, body-based, audition, and vision. We then present how spatial information is typically multisensory and estimates are integrated within …

Within- and cross-modal distance information disambiguate visual size-change perception

Perception is fundamentally underconstrained because different combinations of object properties can generate the same sensory information. To disambiguate sensory information into estimates of scene properties, our brains incorporate prior knowledge …

Influence of visual and haptic delays on stiffness perception in augmented reality

Visual delays are unavoidable in augmented reality setups and occur in different steps of the rendering pipeline. In the context of haptic interaction with virtual objects, it has been shown that delayed force feedback can alter the perception of …

Temporal calibration between the visual, auditory, and tactile senses: A psychophysical approach

Human observers acquire information about physical properties of the environment through different sensory modalities. For natural events, these sensory signals show a specific temporal, spatial and contextual configuration that aids the integration …

Perception of shape properties from multiple cues

The world appears three-dimensional (3D) even though the depth dimension is lost with projection to the retina. The visual system uses different cues that carry information about the 3D aspects of the world, combining the information they convey. …
