The Neural Bases of Multisensory Processes

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 and neuroscience methods, this volume details current understanding in the neural bases for these phenomena as studied across species, stages of development, and clinical statuses.Topics discussed include anatomy, neurophysiological bases and how multisensory stimuli can dramatically change the encoding processes for sensory information, combinatorial principles and modeling, development and plasticity, clinical manifestations, how perception and action are affected by altered sensory experience, and attention and spatial representations._x005F_x000D_
