Abstract

The concept of embodiment has been used in multiple scenarios, but in cognitive neuroscience it normally refers to the comprehension of the role of one's own body in the cognition of everyday situations and the processes involved in that perception. Multisensory research is gradually embracing the concept of embodiment, but the focus has mostly been concentrated upon audiovisual integration. In two experiments, we evaluated how the likelihood of a perceived stimulus to be embodied modulates visuotactile interaction in a Simultaneity Judgement task. Experiment 1 compared the perception of two visual stimuli with and without biological attributes (hands and geometrical shapes) moving towards each other, while tactile stimuli were provided on the palm of the participants' hand. Participants judged whether the meeting point of two periodically-moving visual stimuli was synchronous with the tactile stimulation in their own hands. Results showed that in the hand condition, the Point of Subjective Simultaneity (PSS) was significantly more distant to real synchrony (60 ms after the Stimulus Onset Asynchrony, SOA) than in the geometrical shape condition (45 ms after SOA). In experiment 2, we further explored the impact of biological attributes by comparing performance on two visual biological stimuli (hands and ears), that also vary in their motor and visuotactile properties. Results showed that the PSS was equally distant to real synchrony in both the hands and ears conditions. Overall, findings suggest that embodied visual biological stimuli may modulate visual and tactile multisensory interaction in simultaneity judgements.

同步性的体现与多感官感知:生物特征调节同时性判断中的视觉和触觉多感官互动
"体现"(embodiment)的概念被用于多种情况,但在认知神经科学中,它通常是指理解自己的身体在认知日常情况中的作用以及这种感知所涉及的过程。多感官研究正逐渐接受 "体现 "这一概念,但研究重点大多集中在视听整合上。在两项实验中,我们评估了在 "同时性判断 "任务中,感知到的刺激物被具象化的可能性是如何调节视触互动的。实验 1 比较了有生物属性和无生物属性(手和几何图形)的两个视觉刺激相互移动的感知,同时在参与者的手掌上提供了触觉刺激。参与者判断两个周期性移动的视觉刺激物的交汇点是否与自己手掌上的触觉刺激同步。结果表明,在手掌条件下,主观同步点(PSS)与真实同步点的距离(刺激发生不同步后 60 毫秒,SOA)明显大于几何形状条件下(SOA 后 45 毫秒)。在实验 2 中,我们通过比较两种视觉生物刺激(手和耳朵)的表现,进一步探讨了生物属性的影响。结果表明,在手和耳朵的条件下,PSS 与真实同步的距离相同。总之,研究结果表明,具身的视觉生物刺激可能会在同时性判断中调节视觉和触觉的多感官互动。

期刊介绍: Multisensory Research is an interdisciplinary archival journal covering all aspects of multisensory processing including the control of action, cognition and attention. Research using any approach to increase our understanding of multisensory perceptual, behavioural, neural and computational mechanisms is encouraged. Empirical, neurophysiological, psychophysical, brain imaging, clinical, developmental, mathematical and computational analyses are welcome. Research will also be considered covering multisensory applications such as sensory substitution, crossmodal methods for delivering sensory information or multisensory approaches to robotics and engineering. Short communications and technical notes that draw attention to new developments will be included, as will reviews and commentaries on current issues. Special issues dealing with specific topics will be announced from time to time. Multisensory Research is a continuation of Seeing and Perceiving, and of Spatial Vision.
