    Figure 1.

    Design of the experiment. A, The word “bus” is associated with visual and auditory features. Participants are required to verify features from either the same (visual: “red,” “big”) or different modalities (auditory and visual: “red,” “loud”). B, Spider plots show that auditory (green) and visual features (blue) are rated as predominantly auditory (A) and visual (V) rather than haptic (H), olfactory (O), or gustatory (G). C, Features were always presented before target words.

    Figure 2.

    Low-frequency oscillations in sensor and source space. A, Total power changes in the CM and MS condition relative to a 500 ms fixation baseline. Right, Statistical differences between conditions averaged over the identified cluster. The box depicts the significant time–frequency range. B, Topographies showing relative signal change across magnetometers between 2 and 8 Hz and between 580 and 1000 ms. Right, Significant channels are marked as dots. C, Source reconstruction revealed peaks in the ATL and parietal lobe.

    High-frequency oscillations in sensor and source space. A, Total power changes in the CM and MS condition relative to a 500 ms fixation baseline, and the statistical difference between conditions. The box depicts the significant time–frequency range. B, Topographies showing relative signal change across magnetometers between 80 and 120 Hz and between 150 and 350 ms. Right, Significant channels are marked as dots. C, Source reconstruction revealed peaks in left ATL and medial frontal lobe.

    Figure 4.

    Whole-brain contrasts for MS auditory and visual feature contexts in the γ range. Left, Middle, The contrast between the auditory (left) and visual (middle) condition versus baseline. Right, Contrast between the auditory and visual condition. γ Power is enhanced in visual areas for both conditions, but only the auditory condition shows a peak in pSTS/BA22 (dashed circle). All contrasts are corrected at the cluster level (p < 0.005).
