Craik Club Christmas Lecture: Selective attention, multisensory integration and spatial neglect

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Cordula Becker .

Interactions between different sensory modalities can influence not only traditional ‘multisensory’ regions of the human brain, but also some regions usually considered modality-specific, such as visual and somatosensory cortex. I will illustrate this general point with examples from our own work on human crossmodal spatial attention, and on interactions between concurrent stimulation in different senses. I will also describe how deficits in the spatial-neglect syndrome after stroke can often generalise across the senses. Many of these normal and pathological crossmodal phenomena may reflect back-projection influences from multisensory structures (e.g, in frontal or parietal cortex) upon sensory-specific areas (e.g. in visual and somatosensory cortex). I will describe some new methods for potential study of such causal interplay between remote but interconnected areas of the human brain, including concurrent use of TMS during fMRI scanning.
