The merging of the senses. Stein, B. E & Meredith, M A. The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1993.
abstract   bibtex   
(from the jacket) "The Merging of the Senses" provides the first detailed review of how the brain assembles information from different sensory systems in order to produce a coherent view of the external world. Stein and Meredith marshall evidence from a broad array of species to show that interactions among senses are the most ancient scheme of sensory organization, an integrative system reflecting a general plan that supersedes structure and species. Most importantly, they explore what is known about the neural processes by which interactions among the senses take place at the level of the single cell.(from the preface) The study of how information from the different senses is integrated in the brain crosses boundaries between a variety of scientific disciplines. Thus, we have tried to aim the book at a variety of readers; some may still be students and others will have had very little experience with some of the techniques used in the experiments described here. . . . The primary purpose of this book is to describe the electrophysiological experiments that we have done on single neurons in the central nervous system that code information derived from more than one sensory system.
