“…This interest is exemplified by the extensive literature on multisensory integration, intersensory conflict, and cross-modal plasticity (e.g., Bowen, Ramachandran, Muday, & Schirillo, 2011; Calvert, Spence, & Stein, 2004; Ernst & Banks, 2002; Sadato et al, 1996; Sathian & Lacey, 2007; Spence & Driver, 2004; Stein & Stanford, 2008). Although research on these topics is not of direct relevance to the present study, we note that there are important ties between research on multisensory perception and research on working memory in tasks where sensory information is acquired over successive eye fixations, over successive haptic samples during hand exploration, and over auditory samples obtained during head rotation.…”
