Abstract
⺠The ability to discern approaching from receding events is critical for survival. ⺠Approaching (Looming) stimuli selectively enhance perceptual sensitivity. ⺠We examine the neural underpinnings of audiovisual looming signals in humans. ⺠Looming signals activate a network of sensory-specific and multisensory brain areas. ⺠Enhanced connectivity between regions might enhance the salience of stimuli features.
