title: Cognitive neuroscience: vision and touch are constant companions.
abstract: To act on objects in the world around us, we must first construct an accurate representation of where they are physically located. Recent investigations have begun to shed light on how the brain dynamically binds together visual and somatosensory signals to create task-dependent representations that maintain object constancy.
