TLDR
It is shown that auditory information can qualitatively alter the perception of an unambiguous visual stimulus to create a striking visual illusion, indicating that visual perception can be manipulated by other sensory modalities.Abstract:
Vision is believed to dominate our multisensory perception of the world. Here we overturn this established view by showing that auditory information can qualitatively alter the perception of an unambiguous visual stimulus to create a striking visual illusion. Our findings indicate that visual perception can be manipulated by other sensory modalities.read more

The Ventriloquist Effect Results from Near-Optimal Bimodal Integration
David Alais,David C. Burr +1 more
TL;DR: This study investigates spatial localization of audio-visual stimuli and finds that for severely blurred visual stimuli, the reverse holds: sound captures vision while for less blurred stimuli, neither sense dominates and perception follows the mean position.

Merging the senses into a robust percept
TL;DR: It is shown that, depending on the type of information, different combination and integration strategies are used and that prior knowledge is often required for interpreting the sensory signals.

Multisensory Interplay Reveals Crossmodal Influences on ‘Sensory-Specific’ Brain Regions, Neural Responses, and Judgments
TL;DR: This work surveys recent progress in this multisensory field, foregrounding human studies against the background of invasive animal work and highlighting possible underlying mechanisms.

Cognition does not affect perception: Evaluating the evidence for "top-down" effects.
Chaz Firestone,Brian J. Scholl +1 more
TL;DR: This work suggests that none of these hundreds of studies – either individually or collectively – provides compelling evidence for true top-down effects on perception, or “cognitive penetrability,” and suggests that these studies all fall prey to only a handful of pitfalls.

Determinants of multisensory integration in superior colliculus neurons. I. Temporal factors.

TL;DR: In the present study, the temporal disparity among combinations of different sensory stimuli was shown to be a critical factor influencing the integration of multisensory stimuli by superior colliculus neurons.

Enhancement of perceived visual intensity by auditory stimuli: A psychophysical analysis
TL;DR: A brief, broad-band auditory stimulus was found to significantly enhance the perceived intensity of an LED, and was evident regardless of the location of the auditory cue.

Cross-modal synthesis in the midbrain depends on input from cortex
Mark T. Wallace,Barry E. Stein +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that some of the associative functions of cortex are accomplished via its target neurons in the midbrain, and that removal of corticotectal influences can eliminate multisensory integration in superior colliculus neurons while leaving their responses to unimodal cues intact.

Visual influences on auditory pluck and bow judgments
TL;DR: This study attempted to find an analogue of the McGurk effect by using nonspeech stimuli—the discrepant audiovisual tokens of plucks and bows on a cello—in terms of motor-theory, ecological, and FLMP approaches to speech perception.
