The possession of such multiple ways of sensing the world offers many benefits. These benefits arise not only because each modality can sense different aspects of the environment  but also because different senses can respond jointly to the same external object or event  thus enriching the overall experience-for example  looking at an individual while listening to them speak. However  combining the information from different senses also poses many challenges for the nervous system. In recent years  there has been dramatic progress in understanding how information from different sensory modalities gets integrated in order to construct useful representations of external space; and in how such multimodal representations constrain spatial attention. Such progress has involved numerous different disciplines  including neurophysiology  experimental psychology  neurological work with brain-damaged patients  neuroimaging studies  and computational modelling. This volume brings together the leading researchers from all these approaches  to present the first integrative overview of this central topic in cognitive neuroscience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646893416501,"sku":"ByrdShop_0198524862","price":112.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780198524861.jpg?v=1781680455","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/crossmodal-space-and-crossmodal-attention-9780198524861","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
