Abstract
Evoked responses to auditory, visual and tactile stimulation were recorded from posterior association cortex in the normal waking cat. Association response amplitudes to all modalities of stimulation decreased during bodily activity and during novel stimulation of any modality. Association responses to repeated auditory stimulation did not habituate.
