Sentence examples for modality specific processing from inspiring English sources

It is often assumed that both visual and auditory percepts have a modality specific processing delay and their difference determines perceptual temporal offset.

Anterior in the ventral stream, the anterior fusiform gyri and temporal poles are highly interconnected to other modality specific processing regions and medial temporal lobe areas (Duffau et al., 2008; Binney et al., 2012).

For instance, although pictures and words have been found to activate the same regions in the left occipito-temporal cortex (e.g., Moore and Price 1999; Price et al. 2006; Starrfelt and Gerlach 2007; Wright et al. 2008), modality specific processing becomes more evident at the system/network level (e.g., see Joseph et al. 2003; Reinke et al. 2008).

Results indicated that before the acquisition of sign language, neural substrates related to modality-specific processing were present.

In order to circumvent some of these limitations, future research should rely on the combination of different levels of observation, in integrative pharmaco-genetics-neurobehavioral approaches, to more completely characterize dopamine's role in both general and modality-specific processing of reward.

These results suggest that for these participants, the quality of the sensory evidence was lower for easy auditory than for easy visual stimuli, possibly reflecting an individual difference in modality-specific processing.

In line with previous research, our results thus confirm that, for the auditory and the visual modalities considered alone, there seems to be no specific processing for natural, biologically relevant stimuli.

Our findings further define possible convergence zones proposed to bind supramodal input from modality-specific and heteromodal systems, and confirm the role of these regions in processes beyond initial modality specific lexical processing.

Our result showing that an auditory area is necessary for timing of auditory events may thus be interpreted as demonstrating the existence of modality specific temporal processing.

Previous research suggests that synesthetes display enhanced modality-specific perceptual processing [ 4 7], but it remains unclear whether enhanced processing contributes to conscious awareness of color photisms.

This study focused on four regions of interest including two implicated in processing modality specific input – the superior temporal gyrus involved in phonological processing [18] and the fusiform gyrus implicated in orthographic processing [19].
