Using the full palette of modern brain imaging and neuroscience methods, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Neural Bases of Multisensory Processes\u003c\/strong\u003e details current understanding in the neural bases for these phenomena as studied across species, stages of development, and clinical statuses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganized thematically into nine sub-sections, the book is a collection of contributions by leading scientists in the field. Chapters build generally from basic to applied, allowing readers to ascertain how fundamental science informs the clinical and applied sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics discussed include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnatomy, essential for understanding the neural substrates of multisensory processing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeurophysiological bases and how multisensory stimuli can dramatically change the encoding processes for sensory information\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombinatorial principles and modeling, focusing on efforts to gain a better mechanistic handle on multisensory operations and their network dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelopment and plasticity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClinical manifestations and how perception and action are affected by altered sensory experience\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttention and spatial representations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe last sections of the book focus on naturalistic multisensory processes in three separate contexts: motion signals, multisensory contributions to the perception and generation of communication signals, and how the perception of flavor is generated.
