Visuo-auditory interactions in the primary visual cortex of the behaving monkey: electrophysiological evidence

Y Wang, S Celebrini, Y Trotter, P Barone - BMC neuroscience, 2008 - Springer

A distributed cortical representation underlies crossmodal object recognition in rats

BD Winters, JM Reid - Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
The mechanisms by which the brain integrates the unimodal sensory features of an object
into a comprehensive multimodal object representation are poorly understood. We have …

The differing impact of multisensory and unisensory integration on behavior

G Gingras, BA Rowland, BE Stein - Journal of Neuroscience, 2009 - Soc Neuroscience
Pooling and synthesizing signals across different senses often enhances responses to the
