Abstract

To perceive our world, we make full use of multiple sources of sensory information derived from different modalities which include five basic sensory systems; visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory. In the real world, we normally simultaneously acquire information from different sensory receptors. Therefore, multisensory integration in the brain plays an important role in performance and perception. This review focuses on the crossmodal between the visual and tactile. Many previous studies have indicated that visual information effects tactile perception and in return, tactile perception is also active in the MT, the main visual motion information processing area. However, few studies have explored how information of the crossmodal between the visual and tactile is processed. Here, the authors highlight the processing mechanism of the crossmodal in the brain. They show that integration between the visual and tactile has two stages: combination and integration.
