Multisensory integration (MSI) is the process by which information from different sensorysystems is combined to create an accurate percept (Stein, Stanford & Rowland, 2009). MSI isbelieved to take place in the superior temporal sulcus (STS) of the brain. The STS is located in thetemporal lobe, which is the brain region primarily affected by volume loss associated with ageing. Inaddition to brain volume loss, healthy ageing also causes vision and hearing loss. Age-related3declines in vision are predicted to affect 2 billion people worldwide, and more than 360 millionpeople worldwide are affected by disabling age-related hearing loss. Very little is known about howthese sensory deficits and anatomical changes influence MSI, despite their important role in creatingan accurate percept. Further understanding of this area is vital for informing how perception andcognition changes with ageing, and the impact that such changes have on daily life.

多感官整合(MSI)是将来自不同感官系统的信息组合在一起以创造准确感知的过程(Stein，Stanford&Rowland，2009)。MSI被认为发生在大脑的颞上沟(STS)。STS位于颞叶，这是大脑的主要区域，受与衰老相关的体积损失的影响。除了大脑体积的损失，健康的衰老还会导致视力和听力损失。与年龄相关的视力下降预计将影响全球20亿人，全球超过3.6亿人受到与年龄相关的残疾听力损失的影响。人们对这些感觉缺陷和解剖变化如何影响MSI知之甚少，尽管它们在创造准确感知方面发挥了重要作用。进一步了解这一领域对于了解知觉和认知如何随着年龄的增长而变化，以及这种变化对日常生活的影响至关重要。
