This book presents the latest research on multisensory brain function. Namely, the mechanisms by which the brain processes and integrates information from multiple sensory modalities. Its contents cover a broad range of topics, including optimal integration, cross-modal interactions, calibration, and causal inference – with an emphasis on their neuronal underpinnings. By bringing together efforts from different laboratories around the world we aim to collaboratively shed light on these fundamental brain processes, that underlie perception, cognition, and behavior in a complex multisensory world, and to spur innovation of brain-inspired technologies

Dr. Yong Gu is a professor at the Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China). He obtained his Ph.D. from Institute of Biophysics, CAS, and completed his postdoc training at Washington University (St. Louis, MO, United States). Prof. Gu’s research mainly focuses on neural mechanisms underlying multisensory integration for spatial perception. He has published nearly 50 articles in this field on international peer-reviewed journals, such as Neuron, Nature Neuroscience, Nature Communications, eLife, Cell Reports, Journal of Neuroscience, Cerebral Cortex, Current Opinion in Neurobiology, Philosophical Transactions B, and more. He is currently an associate editor for Neuroscience Bulletin.

Adam Zaidel is an associate professor and principal investigator at The Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center, Bar-Ilan University, Israel. He obtained a B.Sc. in electronic engineering from Tel Aviv University and a Ph.D. in computational neuroscience from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He did his postdoctoral training at Washington University (St. Louis, MO) and Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX). Prof. Zaidel studies how the brain processes and integrates information from multiple sources to attain coherent perception, and how this function is damaged in brain disorders. He has published many articles in international peer-reviewed journals, including Neuron, Nature Communications, Brain, PNAS, Movement Disorders, eLife and more.
