5. Why Multisensory?

6. We live in a “multisensory” world Information can be processed on a modality- specific basis Information converges and is integrated in the brain Performance enhancement is larger for multisensory than unisensory stimuli

7. Color Discrimination Task (Multisensory) (Unisensory)

8. Multisensory Enhancement AuditoryMultisensoryVisual * Cross-modal Visual 1Visual 2Dual-Visual ns Dual-visual

9. Factors Modulating Multisensory Integration Temporal/spatial coincidence Semantic congruence Sensory attention –Selective –Divided

16. Selective Attention – Multisensory Processing

17. Selective attention suppresses multisensory integration Unpublished data removed

18. Behavioral studies Redundant multisensory benefits >> redundant unisensory benefits Multisensory Integration is modulated stimulus features –Timing –Location –Meaning Congruent – enhancements Incongruent- decrements Sensory attention modulates multisensory integration

23. Unisensory Brain Regions Brodmann Areas http://spot.colorado.edu/~dubin/talks/brodmann/brodmann.html Do the unisensory cortices interact? How does attention modulate unisensory activity? Are unisensory interactions altered in dyslexia?

24. Unisensory Brain Regions Cross-modal deactivations are modulated by selective attention Unpublished data removed AuditionVision Laurienti et al. (2002)

25. Phoneme Recognition Task Dyslexic readers do not deactivate visual cortex during an auditory processing task Unpublished data removed

26. Imaging Multisensory Processes Multiple multisensory cortical regions Factors that modulate behavior (coincidence, congruence, attention) also modulate fMRI Unisensory and multisensory regions are closely situated Cross-modal deactivations Altered multisensory processing in dyslexia
