Cortical areas processing the identity and location of sensory inputs were once thought to be organised hierarchically, with some branches dedicated to basic features and other branches dedicated to complex features. Yet current studies have uncovered synergistic effects at early sensory cortices as well as at higher-level association areas. A less hierarchical functional architecture of the brain has emerged such that, irrespective of sensory modality, inputs would be allocated to the best suited cortical substrate. It is our hope that the articles included in this special issue will offer novel insights into recent developments relating to multisensory integration and brain functioning. 517 $aMultisensory Integration 606 $aPsychology$2bicssc 610 $aattentional deployment 610 $abody representation 610 $aembodied reasoning 610 $aemotional processing 610 $aLanguage 610 $amultisensory integration 610 $aNumerical cognition 610 $aspace and time processing 615 7$aPsychology 676 $a152.1 702 $aDumitru$b Magda L. 702 $aMyachykov$b Andriy 702 $aPasqualotto$b Achille 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136797803321 996 $aMultisensory integration$93398620 997 $aUNINA
