Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “…only begin emerging after birth, that they do not integrate multisensory signals when they emerge, and that their ability to integrate auditory, visual, and tactile localization cues depends on the specific spatial alignment of these cues early in life (Wallace & Stein, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2007).”
Neural Reorganization Following Sensory Loss: The Opportunity Of Change (2009, background): “Investigations of the development and maturation of multisensory circuits within the cat AES confirm that the capacity for multisensory integration is rudimentary during early postnatal life, that it gradually develops over time and that it is highly influenced by timing and the animal's overall sen”
The role of intersensory redundancy in early perceptual, cognitive, and social development (2012, background): “…; Stein and Meredith 1993 ), but little of this research has had a developmental focus (but see Brainard and Knudsen 1993 ; King and Carlile 1993 ; Wallace and Stein 2007 ) and only a few studies have assessed the effects of redundant versus non-redundant stimulation on patterns of neural…”
Intersensory binding across space and time: A tutorial review (2013, background): “…has been demonstrated not only in human observers, but also in species such as cats, ferrets, and birds (Kacelnik, Walton, Parsons & King, 2002; King, Doubell, & Skaliora, 2004; Knudsen, Knudsen & Esterly, 1982; Knudsen & Knudsen, 1985, 1989; Meredith & Allman, 2009; Wallace & Stein, 2007).”
Development and Plasticity of Intra- and Intersensory Information Processing (2008, background): “…the adult tonotopic map specific to stimuli that predict behaviorally reinforcing events, the degree to which the cue frequency is overrepresented in the tonotopic map is positively correlated with the animal’s learned proficiency in the frequency discrimination task (Polley et al, 2006).”
Diffusion tensor imaging shows white matter tracts between human auditory and visual cortex (2011, unknown): “On the other hand, multimodal integration was also observed in subcortical areas such as the superior colliculus (Meredith and Stein 1986; Meredith 2002; Wallace and Stein 2007).”
Benefits of multisensory learning. (2008, background): “correlations between auditory and visual inputs alters the multisensory representation in the superior colliculus [ 26 ], and disruption to the inputs to auditory cortex can result in this area being driven by visual inputs [27].”
The Development of Cortical Multisensory Integration (2006, background): “Furthermore, it appears to exercise this coordination late in the period during which cross-modal experiences critical for multisensory integration are acquired (Wallace et al., 2004b; Wallace and Stein, 2006).”
The Integrated Development of Sensory Organization (2011, background): “Wallace MT, Stein BE.”
