在2013年7月Neuron杂志有一篇非常有意思的文章.视网膜研究元老 John E. Dowling 还为此文写了引言.
这篇文章非常吸引我在于不同感觉器官竟然不通过大脑就有直接途径.嗅觉调节了视觉,多种感官协同合作,就是通感(cross modal perception, is perception that involves interactions between two or more different sensory modalities.(wiki)大脑接受了多种来源的信息.对各种信息整合后,大脑做出它认为最佳的判断,然后提升到意识. "This is the brain's effort to provide the consciousness with its best guess about the incoming information"(McGurk effect, wikipedia,^ Jump up to:a b O’Shea, M. (2005).
