Wired For Sound: How The Brain Senses Visual Illusions, ScienceDaily
 









Excerpts: In a study that could help reveal how illusions are produced in the
brain's visual cortex, researchers (...) have found new evidence of rapid
integration of auditory and visual sensations in the brain. (...) When subjects
were shown a single flash of light interposed between two brief sounds, many
subjects reported seeing two distinct flashes of light. Investigating the timing
and location of the brain processes that underlie this illusory effect -- the
illusion of seeing two flashes in the presence of two auditory signals, when
only one flash actually occurs -- can reveal how information from different
senses are integrated in the brain. (...)
