The symposium ‘Advances in the Study of Visual and Multisensory Objects’ provides convergent focus of research from a broad range of subject areas. Using both nuanced philosophical analysis and informed empirical work, the symposium offers an interdisciplinary look at different aspects of visual and multisensory objects. It integrates three methodological approaches in a well-balanced way: philosophy of perception, experimental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience. Presenting a crucial part of the forthcoming collection (A. Mroczko-Wąsowicz & R. Grush (Eds.) Sensory Individuals: Unimodal and Multimodal Perspectives. Oxford: OUP), the symposium focuses on specific and closely related questions.
