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, The Neural Bases of Multisensory Processes
details current understanding in the neural bases for these
phenomena as studied across species, stages of development, and
clinical statuses.
Organized thematically into nine sub-sections, the book is a
collection of contributions by leading scientists in the field.
Chapters build generally from basic to applied, allowing readers to
ascertain how fundamental science informs the clinical and applied
sciences.
Topics discussed include:
- Anatomy, essential for understanding the neural substrates of
multisensory processing
- Neurophysiological bases and how multisensory stimuli can
dramatically change the encoding processes for sensory
information
- Combinatorial principles and modeling, focusing on efforts to
gain a better mechanistic handle on multisensory operations and
their network dynamics
- Development and plasticity
- Clinical manifestations and how perception and action are
affected by altered sensory experience
- Attention and spatial representations
The last sections of the book focus on naturalistic multisensory
processes in three separate contexts: motion signals, multisensory
contributions to the perception and generation of communication
signals, and how the perception of flavor is generated. The text
provides a solid introduction for newcomers and a strong overview
of the current state of the field for experts.
