Multisensory processing in the ferret auditory cortex

Thesis

Our perception of events depends on the integration of information derived from different sensory modalities. Functional imaging and electrophysiological studies have shown that multisensory interactions occur even at the level of primary sensory cortices; however their functional significance remains elusive. Therefore, to explore the relationship between multisensory interactions in early auditory cortical processing areas and behaviour, we recorded activity from the auditory cortex duri...
