AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers studied how 4- and 6-month-old infants connect pitch with the size of objects.
  • The results showed that only the 6-month-olds demonstrated a clear connection between these two senses.
  • This indicates that older infants have more experience or developmental maturity, which helps them make these crossmodal associations better than younger infants.

Article Abstract

We examined 4- and 6-month-old infants' sensitivity to the perceptual association between pitch and object size. Crossmodal correspondence effects were observed in 6-month-old infants but not in younger infants, suggesting that experience and/or further maturation is needed to fully develop this crossmodal association.

Temporal Multi-Modal Knowledge Graphs (TMMKGs) can be regarded as a synthesis of Temporal Knowledge Graphs (TKGs) and Multi-Modal Knowledge Graphs (MMKGs), combining the characteristics of both. TMMKGs can effectively model dynamic real-world phenomena, particularly in scenarios involving multiple heterogeneous information sources and time series characteristics, such as e-commerce websites, scene recording data, and intelligent transportation systems. We propose a Temporal Multi-Modal Knowledge Graph Generation (TMMKGG) method that can automatically construct TMMKGs, aiming to reduce construction costs.

Atypical face processing is commonly reported in autism. Its neural correlates have been explored extensively across single neuroimaging modalities within key regions of the face processing network, such as the fusiform gyrus (FFG). Nonetheless, it is poorly understood how variation in brain anatomy and function jointly impacts face processing and social functioning.

Vision-language navigation (VLN) is a challenging task that requires agents to capture the correlation between different modalities from redundant information according to instructions, and then make sequential decisions on visual scenes and text instructions in the action space. Recent research has focused on extracting visual features and enhancing text knowledge, ignoring the potential bias in multi-modal data and the problem of spurious correlations between vision and text. Therefore, this paper studies the relationship structure between multi-modal data from the perspective of causality and weakens the potential correlation between different modalities through cross-modal causality reasoning.

Rounded shapes are associated with softness and warmth, whereas Platonic solids are associated with hardness and coldness. We investigated the temperature-shape association through sensorial/conceptual qualities of geometric ice-like textured shapes. In Experiment 1, participants viewed symmetrical rotating 3D shapes (five Platonic solids-cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron; a star polyhedron and a sphere) and control shapes (naturalistic and angular), rating them in terms of liking, hardness, temperature, wetness, and texture.

The role of delta phase for temporal predictions investigated with bilateral parietal tACS.

Department of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Martinistr. 52, Hamburg, 20246, Germany; Hamburg Center of Neuroscience, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Martinistr. 52, Hamburg, 20246, Germany.

Background: Previous research has shown that temporal prediction processes are associated with phase resets of low-frequency delta oscillations in a network of parietal, sensory and frontal areas during non-rhythmic sensory stimulation. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) modulates perceptually relevant brain oscillations in a frequency and phase-specific manner, allowing the assessment of their functional qualities in certain cognitive functions like temporal prediction.

Objective: We addressed the relation between oscillatory activity and temporal prediction by using tACS to manipulate brain activity in a sinusoidal manner.
