Previous event‐related potential (ERP) studies have identified the superior parietal lobule (SPL) as actively multisensory. This study compares effective, or contextually active, connections to this region under unisensory and multisensory conditions. Effective connectivity, the influence of one brain region over another, during unisensory visual, unisensory auditory and multisensory audiovisual stimulation was investigated. ERPs were recorded from subdural electrodes placed over the parietal…

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.
Semantic congruent audiovisual integration during the encoding stage of working memory: an ERP and sLORETA study
TLDR
The results suggested that information inputs from different WM subsystems yielded nonlinear multisensory interactions and became integrated during the encoding stage, indicating that the central executive could play a critical role in the integration of information from different slave systems.
The Co-occurrence of Multisensory Facilitation and Competition in the Human Brain and its Impact on Aging
Perceptual objects often comprise of a visual and auditory signature, which arrives simultaneously through distinct sensory channels, and multisensory features are linked by virtue of being…
The development of audiovisual multisensory integration across childhood and early adolescence: a high-density electrical mapping study.
TLDR
A significant positive correlation between behavioral and neurophysiological measures of MSI suggested that the underlying brain processes contributed to the fine-tuning of multisensory facilitation of behavior that was observed over middle childhood, consistent with protracted plasticity in a dynamic system.

Neural Substrate of Initiation of Cross-Modal Working Memory Retrieval
TLDR
A cued matching task revealed that the frontoparietal-thalamus network participated in the initiation of cross-modal working memory retrieval, and the l-SPL and thalamus showed differential activations between maintenance and working memory retrieved, which might be associated with the enhanced demand for cognitive resources.
The co-occurrence of multisensory facilitation and cross-modal conflict in the human brain.
TLDR
The results suggest that multisensory facilitation is associated with posterior parietal activity as early as 100 ms after stimulus onset, and as participants are required to evaluate cross-modal stimuli based on their semantic category or their degree of congruence, mult isensory processes extend in cingulate, temporal, and prefrontal cortices.
Multisensory processes can compensate for attention deficits in schizophrenia
TLDR
This study suggests that widely intact MSI, which facilitates stimulus processing, can compensate for top-down attention deficits in SCZ, and implies that differences in attentional demands may account for previous conflicting findings in schizophrenia.

The case for feedforward multisensory convergence during early cortical processing
TLDR
Findings make it clear that multisensory convergence at early stages of cortical processing results from feedforward as well as feedback and lateral connections, thus using the full range of anatomical connections available in brain circuitry.
Human–simian correspondence in the early cortical processing of multisensory cues
TLDR
The correspondence between specific findings in humans and monkeys is reviewed, focusing on two areas, posterior auditory association cortex and posterior parietal visual association cortex, and the importance of human–simian homology in the study of the multisensory components of primate communication is considered.

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.
Multisensory processing and oscillatory activity: analyzing non-linear electrophysiological measures in humans and simians
TLDR
A simple bootstrapping procedure wherein the linear summation of single unisensory trials forms a distribution against which multisensary trials may be statistically compared, an approach that circumvents the issue of non-linearity when combining unisENSory oscillatory responses.
Shifts of Effective Connectivity within a Language Network during Rhyming and Spelling
TLDR
These remarkably selective and symmetrical findings demonstrate that the nature of the behavioral task dynamically shifts the locus of integration to the network component specialized for that task and suggest that the role of the task-selective areas is to provide a differential synthesis of incoming information rather than providing differential control signals influencing the activity of other network components.
