Sensory feedback-dependent coding of arm position in local field potentials of the posterior parietal cortex

Abstract Although multisensory integration is crucial for sensorimotor function, it is unclear how visual and proprioceptive sensory cues are combined in the brain during motor behaviors. Here we characterized the effects of multisensory interactions on local field potential (LFP) activity obtained...
