Multisensory

Multisensory

Multisensory refers to the research area looking at the integration of information from different sensory modalities. There are many different research groups around the world investigating this question. Some of these often present their research at the International Multisensory Research Forum (www.imrf.info), but many do not consider themselves multisensory researchers.

Some examples of multisensory processes include the integration of visual and auditory information in the perception of speech.
