Visual System's View of Acoustic Space

Nature volume 238, pages 44–46 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

SINGLE nerve cells of the visual cortex of the cat can respond to stimuli in other modalities1–11, but the physiological role of such excitation is not understood. Many investigators consider that this activation reflects generalized arousal12–15. In this report I present evidence of a rigorous spatial specificity in the acoustical projection to visual neurones.
