Steady state visual evoked potentials reveal a signature of the pitch-size crossmodal association in visual cortex

Placido Sciortino, Christoph Kayser

Abstract: Highlights•Specific visual and acoustic features are often associated during perception.•One example is the pitch of a tone and the size of a visual object.•We used EEG to study the cerebral origin of such associations.•Steady-state visual evoked potentials suggest an origin near primary visual cortex.•Our results support a low-level account for crossmodal associations.
