Symposium Overview
Multisensory Processing In and Near Primary Auditory Cortex.
Organizer: Charles E. Schroeder

Converging evidence from studies in both human and nonhuman primates demonstrate multisensory convergence and interaction at the earliest stages of cortical auditory processing. These findings define what is arguably the most radical and controversial form of multisensory processing, and they call into question some of our most basic assumptions about the mechanisms and functions of low level cortical processing itself. The proposed symposium consists of four talks on this topic.

Michael Brosch (Inst.Neurobiol. Magdeburg, Germany) will describe findings relating to the visual responsiveness of auditory neurons, uncovered by his recent studies in awake-behaving monkeys.

Asif Ghazanfar (Dept. Psychology, Princeton Univ., New Jersey, USA) will describe findings from LFP and multiunit studies of audiovisual integration in vocalization processing in awake monkeys.

Peter Lakatos (Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest Hungary and Nathan Kline Institute, New York – USA) will discuss audiovisual and somato-auditory interactions as defined by LFP, CSD and multiunit studies in awake monkeys.

Troy Hackett (Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN) will discuss the cortical and subcortical input pathways that support multisensory interactions in auditory cortex.
