The ability to identify and recognize objects in space is essential in the day-to-day life of most species. This process, however, is seldom restricted to the visual domain. Sensory input from senses other than vision, can aid the recognition of objects or change their contextual meaning. For example, when we feel and hear that it’s raining, we might use vision to search for a place to take shelter. To investigate the neural underpinning of this behavior we developed a task for head-fixed mice in virtual reality which can be easily combined with large-scale neuronal recordings. Contrary to mos
