The integration of different sensory streams into a
coherent, conscious percept is required for multisensory
perception, where in human brain the superior temporal
gyrus (STG) plays an important role. In this combined
MRS-EEG study, the sound-induced flash illusion (SIFI)
paradigm was applied to test the hypotheses that the
GABA concentration in the STG predicts multisensory
perception at the behavioral level and gamma-band
activity during SIFI. MRS data were acquired using
MEGA-PRESS at 3T, and EEG signals were recorded for 40
subjects. The hypotheses were confirmed, and a tight
triangular relationship between GABA concentration,
gamma-band oscillations, and multisensory perception was
found.
