 Abstract: Sensory neurobiology is traditionally investigated one
modality at a time, though it has long been known that
real world behaviour is mediated by integrating information
from multiple sensory sources. A number of recent results
suggest that the neocortical underpinnings of this multisensory
integration reach beyond association cortices and into
early sensory cortical areas. This symposium will explore the
role of multiple senses in driving behavior and how the integration
of multiple senses is mediated by neocortical operations
in both human and nonhuman primates.
Four experts will be brought together to present their recent
work and discuss how understanding multisensory integration
sheds light on fundamental questions related to sensory
processing and large-scale interactions in the brain. The
proposed speakers investigate this phenomenon using complementary
methods—from fMRI and EEG to electrophysiology
and behavior—and using complementary data from
both humans and monkeys.
Together, they will show that the pervasiveness of multisensory
influences on sensory perception and on all levels of cortical
processing will force neurobiologists to reconsider the practice of thinking about brain and behavior in unisensory terms.
