We explored how audio-visual stimulus pairs\u2014linked either by co-occurrence or by shared meaning\u2014affect behavior and brain activity during decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>By combining behavioral data from a decision-making task with brain activity measured via electroencephalography (EEG), we found two key stages that shape perceptual decisions: an early, sensory-driven stage, and a later, decision-related stage. Interestingly, whether the stimulus pairing was expected in terms of co-occurrence or meaning played a major role in how these early and late components contributed to the decision-making process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fnins.2025.1513083\">Read the full article here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are happy to announce that our paper &#8222;Cross-modal congruency modulates evidence accumulation, not decision thresholds&#8220; was published as part of the Research Topic &#8222;Crossing Sensory Boundaries: Multisensory Perception Through [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4939,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"c2c_always_allow_admin_comments":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,1,44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current","category-ihta","category-research"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4939"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3452"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3452\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3455,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3452\/revisions\/3455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
