title: Ventral and dorsal streams as modality-independent phenomena.
abstract: Abstract Interest in ventral and dorsal streams is not limited to vision, and the functionality of similar pathways in other domains has also been considered. Auditory dual pathway models share many conceptual and empirical concerns with those put forward for vision, including the absolute vs. relative, localized vs. distributed, and exact nature of functionality of the two streams. Despite their problems, dual pathway hypotheses provide broad frameworks with which to consider cortical architecture across the senses.
