Infant recognition of mother's voice.

abstract：:Multisensory integration is a powerful mechanism for maximizing sensitivity to sensory events. We examined its effects on auditory localization in healthy human subjects. The specific objective was to test whether the relative intensity and location of a seemingly irrelevant visual stimulus would influence auditory lo...

Some basics are reviewed of a viewer-centred model of 3-D objects, aspect graphs, which represents a 3-D object by all its topologically stable visible image contours (its aspects...
