	area that combines information from different sensory modalities
	to form a cognitive representation of space. However, until recently
	little has been known about the neural mechanisms responsible for
	this important cognitive process. Recent experiments from the author's
	laboratory indicate that visual, somatosensory, auditory and vestibular
	signals are combined in areas LIP and 7a of the posterior parietal
	cortex. The integration of these signals can represent the locations
	of stimuli with respect to the observer and within the environment.
	Area MSTd combines visual motion signals, similar to those generated
	during an observer's movement through the environment, with eye-movement
	and vestibular signals. This integration appears to play a role in
	specifying the path on which the observer is moving. All three cortical
	areas combine different modalities into common spatial frames by
	using a gain-field mechanism. The spatial representations in areas
	LIP and 7a appear to be important for specifying the locations of
	targets for actions such as eye movements or reaching; the spatial
	representation within area MSTd appears to be important for navigation
	and the perceptual stability of motion signals.},
