| Research Abstract |
As to crossmodal information processing that achieves rapid adaptation to an external environment, modulation of sensory activity was observed much before cognitive and behavioral decisions occurred, and rapid reciprocal propagation of information between sensory processings was detected in a low frequency band behind thismodulation. It is thus considered that the crossmodal information processing is not merely based on a hierarchical scheme of unisensory processings but also on a communicativescheme of an interplay of information between the processings, thereby achieving the rapid adaption to environment.
