D. Senkowski: Multisensory communication dynamics and neural oscillations

Multisensory communication dynamics and neural oscillations

The processing of multisensory information in our environment relies on the rapid integration and segregation of stimuli from different sensory modalities. In particular, stimuli enter our sensory systems with different temporal and spatial properties, and thus highly adaptable and flexible neural mechanisms are required for the vast amount of multisensory processing that our brains perform in everyday life. In this talk I will present evidence from studies in healthy participants and patients with schizophrenia that neural oscillations could provide an important neural mechanism underlying multisensory integration and relate to specific multisensory processing deficits in patients. The different frequency bands of neural oscillations, with their different temporal resolutions and functions, appear to be well suited for integrating and segregating stimuli with different temporal and spatial properties across sensory modalities.
