Quantitative models of visual-auditory interactions

We developed a neurocomputational model for the integration of visual and auditory stimuli. The model comprises three main stages. The first visual stage is motion extraction, with a corresponding stage for auditory processing. The second stage models visual-auditory neural interactions, simulating a neural network involving the superior colliculus. The third stage is a global integration stage, simulating higher cortical areas. Simulation results with this model agree closely with experimental data.
