Materials: A Protracted Sensitive Period Regulates the Development of Crossmodal Sound-Shape Associations in Humans

Abstract

Materials for the article "A Protracted Sensitive Period Regulates the Development of Crossmodal Sound-Shape Associations in Humans". Format: 3D objects (Stimulus pairs A and C) are in STL format and can be opened in most CAD software (a free and open-source CAD software is FreeCAD, available at www.freecadweb.org). The authors used the software Cura and printed the stimuli with an Ultimaker 2 3D printer. The stimuli can be verified/viewed at a web STL viewer like www.viewstl.com (MIT-licensed). 2/2.5D forms (Stimulus pairs B and E) are in svg and pdf formats which can be used with a compatible laser cutter/printer to produce the stimuli. For laser cutting the authors used the VisiCut sotware (visicut.org). Funding: European Research Council grant ERC-2009-AdG 249425-CriticalBrainChanges and DFG Ro 2625/10-1 to Brigitte Röder.
