Multisensory information is processed by the central nervous system to determine an accurate representation of the environment. The survival of an organism will depend on how effective this strategy is. The greatest weight is given to sensory cues that have a history of being reliable in a given environmental situation, and for many creatures, including humans and owls, the default sensory reference is vision. However, in situation where visual information is minimal or too noisy, other sensory inputs will be give greater weight. Discrepancies between two sensory inputs can also be modified to increase accuracy and with enough time, the brain will rewire the relevant connections. Sensory processing therefore depends on significant contributions from genetic determinants of nervous system function and sensory experience.
