“…In addition to the higher-level cortical association areas implicated in the representation of peripersonal space, multisensory signals have been found to converge throughout the cortex, including in auditory, somatosensory and visual early cortical areas (reviewed in Ghazanfar and Schroeder, 2006 ; Meijer et al, 2019 ). Thus, responses to auditory stimulation in somatosensory cortical areas have been reported in both human fMRI ( Liang et al, 2013 ; Pérez-Bellido et al, 2018 ; Rahman et al, 2020 ) and magnetoencephalography studies ( Lütkenhöner et al, 2002 ), as well as in single-neuron measurements in monkeys ( Zhou and Fuster, 2004 ) and mice ( Carvell and Simons, 1986 ; Zhang et al, 2020 ; Godenzini et al, 2021 ). More attention has been paid, however, to the way that other sensory modalities affect activity in the auditory cortex, with somatosensory influences demonstrated using a range of methods and in several different species ( Foxe et al, 2002 ; Fu et al, 2003 ; Brosch et al, 2005 ; Kayser et al, 2005 ; Schürmann et al, 2006 ; Lakatos et al, 2007 ; Lemus et al, 2010 ; Iurilli et al, 2012 ; Nordmark et al, 2012 ; Hoefer et al, 2013 ; Rao et al, 2014 ; Lohse et al, 2021 ).…”
