Multisensory Object Perception in the Primate Brain

Traditionally a large proportion of perceptual research has assumed a specialization of cortical regions for the processing of stimuli in a single sensory modality. However, perception in everyday life usually consists of inputs from multiple sensory channels. Recently the question of how the brain...
