Intracranial recordings from three human subjects provide the first direct electrophysiological evidence for audio-visual multisensory processing in the human superior parietal lobule (SPL). Auditory and visual sensory inputs project to the same highly localized region of the parietal cortex with auditory inputs arriving considerably earlier (30 ms) than visual inputs (75 ms). Multisensory integration processes in this region were assessed by comparing the response to simultaneous audio-visual…

Auditory-driven phase reset in visual cortex: Human electrocorticography reveals mechanisms of early multisensory integration
Human brain activity associated with audiovisual perception and attention
Early attention modulates perceptual interpretation of multisensory stimuli
TLDR
The bouncing percept occurs when early attentional deployment facilitates multisensory integration modulating visual perception and early activation of the unimodal areas and later involvement of the attention-related areas are associated with the passing percept.
Neural Responses in Parietal and Occipital Areas in Response to Visual Events Are Modulated by Prior Multisensory Stimuli
TLDR
The experiments suggest that processing of a visual stimulus can be affected by the presence of an immediately prior multisensory event, and relatively long-lasting interactions generated by the initial auditory and visual stimuli altered theprocessing of a subsequent visual stimulus.
Impairments in Multisensory Integration after Stroke
TLDR
The impact of brain damage on MSI in stroke patients using a well-established psychophysical paradigm is demonstrated using the redundant target paradigm, the first to demonstrate the impact of head injury on multisensory integration in individuals with brain damage.
Visual dominance and multisensory integration changes with age
TMS of posterior parietal cortex disrupts visual tactile multisensory integration
TLDR
A model in which the posterior parietal cortex contains a map of space around the hand that receives input from both the visual and somatosensory modalities is supported, in which activity in this map is likely to be the neural substrate for visual–tactile multisensory integration.

Role of the anterior insular cortex in integrative causal signaling during multisensory auditory–visual attention
TLDR
The right anterior insula (rAI) demonstrated the most significant causal influences on all other frontal–cingulate–parietal regions, serving as a major causal control hub during multisensory attention.

Detection of Audio-Visual Integration Sites in Humans by Application of Electrophysiological Criteria to the BOLD Effect
TLDR
The efficacy of using an analytic approach informed by electrophysiology to identify multisensory integration sites in humans is demonstrated and the particular network of brain areas implicated in these crossmodal integrative processes are suggested to be dependent on the nature of the correspondence between the different sensory inputs.

Auditory-Visual Integration during Multimodal Object Recognition in Humans: A Behavioral and Electrophysiological Study
TLDR
The results indicate that multisensory integration is mediated by flexible, highly adaptive physiological processes that can take place very early in the sensory processing chain and operate in both sensory-specific and nonspecific cortical structures in different ways.

Spatially tuned auditory responses in area LIP of macaques performing delayed memory saccades to acoustic targets.
TLDR
This study investigated whether LIP neurons process stimuli of other modalities besides the visual one by comparing their activity in auditory and visual saccade tasks, and found that the memory activity of many LIP cells encodes the next planned saccades.
Responses to auditory stimuli in macaque lateral intraparietal area. II. Behavioral modulation.
TLDR
Recordings made from 160 LIP neurons in two monkeys indicate that auditory responses in area LIP are modulated by behavioral context, are associated with visual responses, and are predictive of delay or saccade activity.
Reference frames for representing visual and tactile locations in parietal cortex
TLDR
The visual and tactile receptive fields of multimodal VIP neurons in macaque monkeys trained to gaze at three different stationary targets were mapped and found to be encoded into a single somatotopic, or head-centered, reference frame, whereas visual receptive fields were widely distributed between eye- to head- centered coordinates.
Involuntary Listening Aids Seeing: Evidence From Human Electrophysiology
TLDR
It is found that orienting spatial attention to an irrelevant sound modulates the ERP to a subsequent visual target over modality-specific, extrastriate visual cortex, but only after the initial stages of sensory processing are completed.
