    In the last few decades, the field of neuroscience has witnessed major technological advances that have allowed researchers to measure and control neural activity with great detail. Yet, behavioral experiments in humans ...
  • Acoustic facilitation of object movement detection during self-motion
    Calabro, Finnegan; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970-; Vaina, Lucia M. (Royal Society, 2011)
    In humans, as well as most animal species, perception of object motion is critical to successful interaction with the surrounding environment. Yet, as the observer also moves, the retinal projections of the various motion ...
  • Age-related sensitive periods influence visual language discrimination in adults
    Weikum, Whitney M.; Vouloumanos, Athena; Navarra, Jordi; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970-; Sebastián Gallés, Núria; Werker, Janet F. (Frontiers, 2013)
    Adults as well as infants have the capacity to discriminate languages based on visual speech alone. Here, we investigated whether adults' ability to discriminate languages based on visual speech cues is influenced by the ...
  • Alpha fluctuations regulate the accrual of visual information to awareness
    Torralba Cuello, Mireia; Drew, Alice; Sabaté San José, Alba; Morís Fernández, Luis, 1982-; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Elsevier, 2022)
    Endogenous brain processes play a paramount role in shaping up perceptual phenomenology. This is illustrated by the alternations experienced by humans (and other animals) when watching perceptually ambiguous, static images. ...
  • Alpha stimulation of the human parietal cortex attunes tactile perception to external space
    Ruzzoli, Manuela; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Elsevier, 2014)
    An intriguing question in neuroscience concerns how somatosensory events on the skin are represented in the human brain. Since Head and Holmes’ [1] neuropsychological dissociation between localizing touch on the skin and ...
  • Audiovisual integration as conflict resolution: The conflict of the McGurk illusion
    Morís Fernández, Luis, 1982-; Macaluso, Emiliano; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Wiley, 2017)
    There are two main behavioral expressions of multisensory integration (MSI) in speech; the perceptual enhancement produced by the sight of the congruent lip movements of the speaker, and the illusory sound perceived when ...
  • Audiovisual speech processing: the role of attention and conflict
    Morís Fernández, Luis, 1982- (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2016-06-03)
    Events in our environment do rarely excite only one sensory pathway, but usually involve several modalities offering complimentary information. These different informations are usually integrated into a single percept ...
  • Balance between breadth and depth in human many-alternative decisions
    Vidal, Alice; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970-; Moreno Bote, Rubén (eLife, 2022)
    Many everyday life decisions require allocating finite resources, such as attention or time, to examine multiple available options, like choosing a food supplier online. In cases like these, resources can be spread across ...
  • Beat gestures and speech processing: when prosody extends to the speaker's hands
    Biau, Emmanuel, 1985- (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2015-11-13)
    Speakers naturally accompany their speech with hand gestures and extend the auditory prosody to visual modality through rapid beat gestures that help them to structure their narrative and emphasize relevant information. ...
  • Beat gestures and syntactic parsing: an ERP study
    Biau, Emmanuel, 1985-; Fromont, Lauren A.; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Wiley, 2017)
    We tested the prosodic hypothesis that the temporal alignment of a speaker's beat gestures in a sentence influences syntactic parsing by driving the listener's attention. Participants chose between two possible interpretations ...
  • Beat gestures modulate auditory integration in speech perception
    Biau, Emmanuel, 1985-; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Elsevier, 2013)
    Spontaneous beat gestures are an integral part of the paralinguistic context during face-to-face conversations. Here we investigated the time course of beat-speech integration in speech perception by measuring ERPs evoked ...
  • Behavioral and electrophysiological correlates of cross-modal enhancement for unaware visual events
    Pápai, Márta Szabina, 1987- (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2017-10-26)
    Diariamente recibimos mucha información que procede simultáneamente de distintos sentidos, que se combina en el cerebro para conseguir una respuesta rápida y precisa. Muchas veces, esto ocurre mediante la integración ...
  • Beliefs about others’ intentions determine whether cooperation is the faster choice
    Castro Santa, Juana; Exadaktylos, Filippos; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
    Is collaboration the fast choice for humans? Past studies proposed that cooperation is a behavioural default, based on Response Times (RT) findings. Here we contend that the individual’s reckoning of the immediate social ...
  • Can the occipital alpha-phase speed up visual detection through a real-time EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI)?
    Vigué Guix, Irene; Morís Fernández, Luis, 1982-; Torralba, Mireia; Ruzzoli, Manuela; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Wiley, 2022)
    Electrical brain oscillations reflect fluctuations in neural excitability. Fluctuations in the alpha band (α, 8–12 Hz) in the occipito‐parietal cortex are thought to regulate sensory responses, leading to cyclic variations ...
  • Characteristic sounds facilitate object search in real-life scenes
    Kvasova, Daria; Garcia-Vernet, Laia; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Frontiers, 2019)
    Real-world events do not only provide temporally and spatially correlated information across the senses, but also semantic correspondences about object identity. Prior research has shown that object sounds can enhance ...
  • Conflict monitoring and attentional adjustment duringbinocular rivalry
    Drew, Alice; Torralba, Mireia; Ruzzoli, Manuela; Morís Fernández, Luis, 1982-; Sabaté, Alba; Pápai, Márta Szabina, 1987-; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Wiley, 2021)
    To make sense of ambiguous and, at times, fragmentary sensory input, the brain must rely on a process of active interpretation. At any given moment, only one of several possible perceptual representations prevails in our ...
  • Cortical resting state circuits: connectivity and oscillations
    Nakagawa, Tristan T. (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2015-03-11)
    Ongoing spontaneous brain activity patterns raise ever-growing interest in the neuroscience community. Complex spatiotemporal patterns that emerge from a structural core and interactions of functional dynamics have been ...

    Mühlberg, Stefanie, 1986-; Oriolo, Giovanni; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
    Prior studies have repeatedly reported behavioural benefits to events occurring at attended, compared to unattended, points in time. It has been suggested that, as for spatial orienting, temporal orienting of attention ...
  • Cross-modal decoupling in temporal attention between audition and touch
    Mühlberg, Stefanie, 1986-; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Springer, 2018)
    Temporal orienting leads to well-documented behavioural benefits for sensory events occurring at the anticipated moment. However, the consequences of temporal orienting in cross-modal contexts are still unclear. On the one ...
  • Cross-modal prediction in speech depends on prior linguistic experience
    Sánchez García, Carolina, 1984-; Enns, James T.; Soto-Faraco, Salvador, 1970- (Springer, 2013)
    The sight of a speaker’s facial movements during the perception of a spoken message can benefit speech processing through online predictive mechanisms. Recent evidence suggests that these predictive mechanisms can operate ...
