The native state. In the model's initial state, the responses of individual SC units are not enhanced by crossmodal cues at any level of stimulus efficacy. Plotted here is the amount of ME (y-axis) observed in response to crossmodal (VA, VS, and AS) cue pairs at multiple efficacy levels (x-axis) for a network before any simulated development. Each point represents the multisensory enhancement index of a single unit. All points, regardless of specific crossmodal convergence pattern, cluster around zero.
