Behavioral Relevance of and Single-Trial Learning from Multisensory Processes

This talk summarizes neural bases of multisensory processes in adults alongside improvements in EEG, fMRI, and TMS signal analysis methods. First, primary and other low-level cortices are loci of behaviourally-relevant multisensory processes. Second, multisensory processes based on single-trial learning can enhance later object recognition. Together, these data underscore how multisensory research is changing long-held models of functional brain organization and perception.
