Crossmodal influences on early somatosensory processing: interaction of vision, touch, and task-relevance

Abstract

Previous research suggests that somatosensory cortex is subject to modulation based on the relevancy of incoming somatosensory stimuli to behavioural goals. Recent fMRI findings provide evidence for modulation of primary somatosensory cortex when simultaneous visual and tactile stimuli were relevant to the performance of a motor task. The present study aimed to (1) determine the temporal characteristics of this modulation using event-related …
