Distinct audio and visual accumulators co-activate motor preparation for multisensory detection.
Article in Nature human behaviour, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Detecting targets in multisensory environments is an elemental brain function, but it is not yet known whether information from different sensory modalities is accumulated by distinct processes, and, if so, whether the processes are subject to separate decision criteria. Here we address this in two experiments (n = 22, n = 21) using a paradigm design that enables neural evidence accumulation to be traced through a centro-parietal positivity and modelled alongside response time distributions. Through analysis of both redundant (respond-to-either-modality) and conjunctive (respond-only-to-both) audio-visual detection data, joint neural-behavioural modelling, and a follow-up onset-asynchrony experiment, we found that auditory and visual evidence is accumulated in distinct processes during multisensory detection, and cumulative evidence in the two modalities sub-additively co-activates a single, thresholded motor process during redundant detection. These findings answer long-standing questions about information integration and accumulation in multisensory conditions.
