Multisensory Processes: A Balancing Act across the Lifespan (2016, background): “In the extreme, one might posit that the entire brain, including the primary cortices, has the capacity to be activated by any sensory modality [76], although it is prudent to retain distinctions based on the ‘driving’ versus ‘modulatory’ character of the sensory inputs (e.”
A ventral visual stream reading center independent of visual experience. (2011, unknown): “Some of these connections, which generate multisensory responses in the ‘‘unisensory’’ primary sensory cortex, might exist in the normally developed brain [7, 35] and could be enhanced or unmasked in the absenceofvisual input, as revealed inblindfoldedsighted individuals [9, 38].”
Multisensory integration in auditory and auditory-related areas of cortex (2009, background): “org multisensory operations has progressed to the point that it is reasonable to suggest that the neocortex may be essentially multisensory (Ghazanfar and Schroeder, 2006; Kayser and Logothetis, 2007).”
Flexibility and Stability in Sensory Processing Revealed Using Visual-to-Auditory Sensory Substitution (2014, background): “These 2 factors allow for both stability and a fast, dynamic tuning of the system when required.”
Multisensory Interplay Reveals Crossmodal Influences on ‘Sensory-Specific’ Brain Regions, Neural Responses, and Judgments (2008, unknown): “…on lowlevel and even primary auditory cortex in animals (e.g., Bizley et al., 2007; Brosch et al., 2005; Fu et al., 2004; Ghazanfar et al., 2005; Kayser et al., 2007; Lakatos et al., 2007; Werner- Reiss et al., 2003 The ''new look'' emerging in the multisensory field, with increasing reports of…”
Real-time classification and sensor fusion with a spiking deep belief network (2013, background): “…cross-modal interactions also at lower levels (Falchier et al., 2002; Markov et al., 2012), and functional studies have provided some (but not conclusive) evidence of co-activations of early sensory areas by stimulation of different modalities [see (Kayser and Logothetis, 2007) for a review].”
