Facing perceptual uncertainty, the brain combines information from different senses to make
optimal perceptual decisions and to guide behavior. However, decision making has been …

Despite recent progress in understanding multisensory decision-making, a conclusive
mechanistic account of how the brain translates the relevant evidence into a decision is …

Most perceptual decisions rely on the active acquisition of evidence from the environment
involving stimulation from multiple senses. However, our understanding of the neural …

When exposed to complementary features of information across sensory modalities, our
brains formulate cross-modal associations between features of stimuli presented separately …

Highlights•Multisensory integration is observed in sensory cortices and higher cortical
areas.•Multisensory information could be integrated early and/or late in decision …

To form a percept of the multisensory world, the brain needs to integrate signals from
common sources weighted by their reliabilities and segregate those from independent …

A key question within systems neuroscience is how the brain translates physical stimulation
into a behavioral response: perceptual decision making. To answer this question, it is …

Decision-making requires the accumulation of sensory evidence. However, in everyday life,
sensory information is often ambiguous and contains decision-irrelevant features. This …

Classical analytical approaches for examining multisensory processing in individual
neurons have relied heavily on changes in mean firing rate to assess the presence and …

Multisensory integration involves a host of different cognitive processes, occurring at
different stages of sensory processing. Here I argue that, despite recent insights suggesting …
