Crossmodal integration is a term applicable to many phenomena in which one sensory modality influences task performance or perception in another sensory modality. We distinguish the term binding as one that should be reserved specifically for the process that underpins perceptual object formation. To unambiguously differentiate binding form other types of integration, behavioral and neural studies must investigate perception of a feature orthogonal to the features that link the auditory and visual stimuli. We argue that supporting true perceptual binding (as opposed to other processes such as decision-making) is one role for cross-sensory influences in early sensory cortex. These early multisensory interactions may therefore form a physiological substrate for the bottom-up grouping of auditory and visual stimuli into auditory-visual (AV) objects.
跨模态整合是一个适用于许多现象的术语，其中一种感觉模态会影响另一种感觉模态中的任务表现或感知。我们将“绑定”一词区分出来，专门用于支持感知对象形成的过程。为了明确区分绑定与其他类型的整合，行为学和神经学研究必须研究与连接听觉和视觉刺激的特征正交的特征的感知。我们认为，支持真正的感知绑定（与决策等其他过程相对）是早期感觉皮层中跨感觉影响的一个作用。因此，这些早期的多感觉相互作用可能为将听觉和视觉刺激自下而上地分组为视听（AV）对象形成生理基础。
