For thousands of years, scientist have been impressed by how effectively the senses work together to enhance the importance of biologically meaningful events that happens to us.  Multisensory integration, also known as multimodal integration, 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.    Recent studies into the underlying physiological mechanisms reveal that, this ability depends on an intimate dialogue among neurons at multiple levels of the central nervous system.
