Specifically, a direct comparison between different feedback modalities and their neural signatures is missing.
In the human perceptual system, attention to a single sensory modality acts to enhance neural activity related to that modality and suppress neural activity related to the unattended sensory modalities.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of different stimulus modalities on subjective, autonomic, and neural threat processing in dental phobia.
This is a common neural feature that spans sensory modalities and can be observed in neural responses to regularly-occurring, as opposed to unpredictably-occurring, stimuli [ 3- 5].
We outline the physical principles governing brain activity mapping using optical, electrical, magnetic resonance, and molecular modalities of neural recording.
How this model might be biologically implemented remains to be elucidated, but one possibility is that cross-modal coherence between stimulus modalities enables neural activity patterns in visual cortex to reinforce the activity elicited by the coherent auditory stream in auditory cortex (Ghazanfar and Schroeder, 2006; Bizley and King, 2012).
Functional modalities, including fMRI, PET, and EEG/MEG, provide data in brain metabolism and neural activity.
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is the modality of choice for investigating in-vivo white matter connectivity and neural tissue architecture of the brain.
However, the cognitive and neural architecture of voice processing and its relations to other modalities of person knowledge continue to be defined.
This result is consistent with a recent finding showing that working memory processes in both visual and tactile modalities share common neural networks [35], thus providing support for the notion of a working memory system independent of sensory modality.
