Summary:At any given moment, information reaches us via our different sensory systems. In order to navigate this multitude of information, associated information needs to be integrated to a coherent percept. In recent years, the hypothesis that synchronous neural oscillations play a prominent role in unisensory and multisensory processing has received substantial support. Current findings further convey the idea that local oscillations and functional connectivity reflect bottom-up as well as top-down processes during multisensory integration and perception. In the current work, I review recent findings on the role of neural oscillations for conscious multisensory perception. Subsequently, I present an integrative network model for multisensory integration that describes the cortical correlates of conscious multisensory perception, the influence of fluctuations of oscillatory neural activity on subsequent perception, and the influence of cognitive processes on neural oscillations and perception. I propose that neural oscillations in distinct, coexisting frequencies reflect the various processing steps underlying multisensory perception.
