What Can Multisensory Processing Tell Us about the Functional Organization of Auditory Cortex?

Excerpt

In this article, we focus on the organization and putative functions of visual inputs to the auditory cortex. Although anatomical and physiological studies have revealed multisensory interactions in visual and somatosensory areas, it is arguably the auditory cortex where most attention has been paid and where we may be closest to answering these questions.
