Audiovisual interactions in human perception: exploring the temporal dimension and the role of attention

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The proposed studies provide an extensive research program into audiovisual interactions that occur in human perception of the external world. These two senses are commonly co-activated when an external event produces patterns of both light and sound (e.g., human speech; traffic). The project's main aim is to explore how timing differences and other temporal factors affect audiovisual integration. The will benefit basic science by furthering our knowledge of multisensory integration in the human brain. This knowledge has potential for practical applications ranging from AV synching in streaming and video to AV virtual realities.
