To perceive the external environment our brain uses multiple sources of sensory information derived from several different modalities, including vision, touch and audition. All these different sources of information have to be efficiently merged to form a coherent and robust percept. Here we highlight some of the mechanisms that underlie this merging of the senses in the brain. We show that, depending on the type of information, different combination and integration strategies are used and that prior knowledge is often required for interpreting the sensory signals.
为了感知外部环境，我们的大脑利用来自多种不同感觉模态的多种感官信息源，包括视觉、触觉和听觉。所有这些不同的信息源都必须有效地融合在一起，以形成连贯且可靠的感知。在这里，我们重点介绍大脑中这种感官融合背后的一些机制。我们表明，根据信息的类型，会使用不同的组合和整合策略，并且解释感官信号通常需要先验知识。
