For thousands of years science philosophers have been impressed by how effectively the
senses work together to enhance the salience of biologically meaningful events. However …

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 …

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 …

Understanding the conditions under which the brain integrates the different sensory streams
and the mechanisms supporting this phenomenon is now a question at the forefront of …

Highlights•Multisensory integration is modulated by bottom-up and top-down factors.•The
core bottom-up features for multisensory integration are strength, location and timing of the …

In everyday life our brain often receives information about events and objects in the real
world via several sensory modalities, because natural objects often stimulate more than one …

Neurobiologists have traditionally assumed that multisensory integration is a higher order
process that occurs after sensory signals have undergone extensive processing through a …

Although much traditional sensory research has studied each sensory modality in isolation,
there has been a recent explosion of interest in causal interplay between different senses …

Multisensory integration does not only recruit higher-level association cortex, but also low-
level and even primary sensory cortices. Here, we will describe and quantify two types of …
