83Crossmodal identificationIn Aleksandra Mroczko-Wasowicz & Rick Grush (eds.), Sensory Individuals: Unimodal and Multimodal Perspectives, Oxford University Press. pp. 331-354. 2023.In crossmodal identification, a subject token identifies an item perceived in one sensory modality with an item perceived in another sensory modality. Does crossmodal identification always occur in cognition, or does crossmodal identification sometimes take place in perception? This paper argues that crossmodal identification occurs in cognition, and not in perception. Nevertheless, multisensory perception is not unalive to crossmodal identity. Experimental evidence demonstrates that perception …Read more

83Perception, Flux and LearningAnalysis 82 (3): 560-571. 2022.Paradigms in philosophy and cognitive science until recently have treated perception in typical human beings as relatively fixed and unchanging. Recent research instead supports the claim that perception can be altered over time by training, deliberate practice or mere exposure. If so, we do not all bring to a scene the same stock of perceptual capacities, and our differences are not just deficits or superpowers.

55A Multisensory Philosophy of PerceptionOxford University Press. 2019.Nearly every theory of perception just focuses on one sense at a time; but most of the time we perceive using multiple senses. Casey O'Callaghan offers a revisionist multisensory philosophy of perception: he explores how our senses work together and influence each other, leading to surprising perceptual illusions and novel forms of experience.

55Perceptual Capacities, Success, and ContentPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research 100 (3): 738-743. 2020.Schellenberg's capacitism maintains that perceptual capacities ground representational content because perceptual capacities can be exercised unsuccessfully. This paper argues against the claim that exercise conditions differ from success conditions such that the relevant perceptual capacities can be exercised unsuccessfully in the way needed to ground representational content.
