<unk> , also known as multimodal<unk> , is the study of how information from the different sensory modalities (such as sight, sound, touch, smell, self-motion, and taste) may be integrated by the nervous system. A coherent representation of objects combining modalities enables animals to have meaningful perceptual experiences. Indeed,<unk>  is central to adaptive behavior because it allows animals to perceive a world of coherent perceptual entities.<unk>  also deals with how different sensory modalities interact with one another and alter each other's processing.
