From Multisensory Integration to Multisensory Decision-Making

Organisms live in a dynamic environment in which sensory information from multiple sources is ever changing. A conceptually complex task for the organisms is to accumulate evidence across sensory modalities and over time, a process known as multisensory decision-making. This is a new concept, in terms of that previous researches have been largely conducted in parallel disciplines. That is, much efforts have been put either in sensory integration across modalities using activity summed over a duration of time, or in decision-making with only one sensory modality that evolves over time. Recently, a few studies with neurophysiological measurements emerge to study how different sensory modality information is processed, accumulated, and integrated over time in decision-related areas such as the parietal or frontal lobes in mammals. In this review, we summarize and comment on these studies that combine the long-existed two parallel fields of multisensory integration and decision-making. We show how the new findings provide insight into our understanding about neural mechanisms mediating multisensory information processing in a more complete way.
