Behavior, perception and cognition are strongly shaped by the synthesis of information
across the different sensory modalities. Such multisensory integration often results in …

The ability to use cues from multiple senses in concert is a fundamental aspect of brain
function. It maximizes the brain's use of the information available to it at any given moment …

There is growing evidence that sensory deprivation is associated with crossmodal
neuroplastic changes in the brain. After visual or auditory deprivation, brain areas that are …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Research in multisensory processes has exploded over the last decade. Tremendous
advances have been made in a variety of fields from single-unit neural recordings and …

Successful integration of signals from the various sensory systems is crucial for normal
sensory–perceptual functioning, allowing for the perception of coherent objects rather than a …

Recent research has demonstrated enhanced visual attention and visual perception in
individuals with extensive experience playing action video games. These benefits manifest …

We process information from the world through multiple senses, and the brain must decide
what information belongs together and what information should be segregated. One …

Blindness often results in the adaptive neural reorganization of the remaining modalities,
producing sharper auditory and haptic behavioral performance. Yet, non-visual modalities …

Multisensory integration describes a process by which information from different sensory
systems is combined to influence perception, decisions, and overt behavior. Despite a …
