Previous studies have shown that adults respond faster and more reliably to bimodal
compared to unimodal localization cues. The current study investigated for the first time the …

It has been hypothesized that crossmodal recalibration plays a crucial role for the
development of multisensory integration capabilities [1]. To test the developmental trajectory …

The multisensory integration capabilities of superior colliculus neurons emerge gradually
during early postnatal life as a consequence of experience with cross-modal stimuli. Without …

Multisensory interactions are observed in species from single-cell organisms to humans.
Important early work was primarily carried out in the cat superior colliculus and a set of …

Multisensory integration refers to the process by which the brain synthesizes information
from different senses to enhance sensitivity to external events. In the present experiments …

Development of multisensory integration capabilities in superior colliculus (SC) neurons was
examined in cats whose visual–auditory experience was restricted to a circumscribed period …

We live in a world rich in sensory information, and consequently the brain is challenged with
deciphering which cues from the various sensory modalities belong together …

Background Visual, tactile and auditory information is processed from the periphery to the
cortical level through separate channels that target primary sensory cortices, from which it is …

We live in a multisensory world and one of the challenges the brain is faced with is deciding
what information belongs together. Our ability to make assumptions about the relatedness of …

Developmental vision is deemed to be necessary for the maturation of multisensory cortical
circuits. Thus far, this has only been investigated in animal studies, which have shown that …
