Cross-modal emotional context-dependent filtering: origin and neuronal mechanisms. KU Leuven
I recently demonstrated that monkeys interpret complex multimodal social stimuli and associate them based on their shared social meaning. In an emotional context established by visual stimuli, vocalisations elicit high or low brain activity depending on their relevance in visually-primed social contexts. Specifically, responses to affiliative vocalisations are boosted or blocked in affiliative and aggressive contexts, respectively. ...
