Figure 4.

Neurons that acquired multisensory integration capabilities during the cross-modal exposure period generalized it to configurations that had not been experienced. Shown is an exemplar neuron. Responses to the exposure set are provided in the first row (shaded). The responses to six stimuli sets are displayed here, with each row representing one set. Note changes in the nature of the visual and auditory stimuli as indicated by the icons or labels. In each case, responses to the cross-modal stimuli were far greater than those to either modality-specific component stimuli, even when the test stimuli did not match those presented during the exposure period. All conventions are the same as in Figure 2.
