This study proposes a new, cross-modal view of objecthood, emphasizing similarities across senses. It suggests auditory processing mirrors visual streams, with both

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Traditional objecthood concepts are visuocentric, limiting cross-modal perception theories.
  • Auditory and cross-modal perception research often prioritizes sensory differences over similarities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To re-examine objecthood beyond visual-centric limitations.
  • To propose a novel, cross-modal conception of objecthood.
  • To explore parallels between auditory and visual processing streams.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual re-examination of objecthood.
  • Hypothesizing dual-stream processing in the auditory system ('what' and 'where').
  • Presenting evidence for auditory-motor 'where' subsystem integration.

Main Results:

  • A new cross-modal objecthood concept emerges, focusing on inter-sensory similarities.
  • The auditory system may have parallel 'what' and 'where' processing streams.
  • Evidence supports the auditory 'where' subsystem serving the visual-motor 'where' system.

Conclusions:

  • Objecthood can be defined through a cross-modal lens, unifying sensory experiences.
  • The 'what' subsystems across modalities are crucial for object recognition.
  • Auditory spatial processing ('where') is integrated with visual-motor control.
