| Research Abstract |
We studied cross-modal interaction and its brain processes by conducting psychological and physiological experiments under following three themes.
1.Studies on the type of reference frame that influences stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) effect.
In the early studies, we (and other researchers) have used geographical stimuli. In present experiments, we used "face" figure stimuli by adding the parts like "eyes" and "a nose" and "clock" figures. We found that the object-centered frame had a stronger influence on SRC than the subject-centered one.
2.Cross modal attentional blink phenomenon on visual and tactual perception.
We unified the type of stimulus in visual-visual, visual-tactual, tactual-tactual, and tactual-visual tasks. In this method, we compared interference effects in these tasks. We found differences between visual or auditory attentional blink and tactual one.
3.Adaptation to reversed vision and its effect on proprioception.
We performed psychological and physiological experiments on adaptation caused by long-term wearing of reversing spectacles. We found that bilateral activation corresponding to horizontally symmetrical positions in the visual field was increased after adaptation.
