Because of its importance in forming an appropriate picture of the external world, the
representation of sensory information has been a powerful driving force in EVOLUTION …

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

Recent research on multisensory perception suggests a number of general principles for
crossmodal integration and that the standard model in the field—feedforward convergence …

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 …

Sensory modalities are classically distinguished on the basis of the type of physical
stimulation that they are most sensitive to-light for vision, sound for hearing, skin pressure for …

The major reference work for a rapidly advancing field synthesizes central themes, reports
on current findings, and offers a blueprint for future research. Scientists' attempts to …

The operation of our multiple and distinct sensory systems has long captured the interest of
researchers from multiple disciplines. When the Society was founded 50 years ago to bring …

The literature is replete with examples in which information in one sense changes
perception in another. Specifically, a visual cue can significantly alter one's judgments about …

The present study suggests that the neural computations used to integrate information from
different senses are distinct from those used to integrate information from within the same …

Objects and events can often be detected by more than one sensory system. Interactions
between sensory systems can offer numerous benefits for the accuracy and completeness of …
