How does the brain process and integrate information from different sensory modalities? This intriguing question has been explored in this study by recording the activity of the Ventral Premotor Cortex (VPC) in two trained macaques (Macaca mulatta) while performing a Bimodal Detection Task (BDT) previously used by Parra et al., 2022. In BDT, subjects were required to identify and report the modality, or the absence thereof, of a near-threshold stimulus that could be either tactile or acoustic. An initial approach on single cells revealed the presence of neurons that were responsive to tactile
