Meaningful sounds enhance visual sensitivity to human gait regardless of synchrony.
Previous research demonstrates that meaningfully related sounds enhance visual sensitivity to point-light displays of human movement. Here we report two psychophysical studies that investigated whether, and if so when, this facilitation is modulated by the temporal relationship between auditory and visual stimuli. In Experiment 1, participants detected point-light walkers in masks while listeni...
متن کاملSynchronous sounds enhance visual sensitivity without reducing target uncertainty.
We examined the crossmodal effect of the presentation of a simultaneous sound on visual detection and discrimination sensitivity using the equivalent noise paradigm (Dosher and Lu, 1998). In each trial, a tilted Gabor patch was presented in either the first or second of two intervals embedded in dynamic 2D white noise with one of seven possible contrast levels. The results revealed that the se...
متن کاملConditioned Sounds Enhance Visual Processing
This psychophysics study investigated whether prior auditory conditioning influences how a sound interacts with visual perception. In the conditioning phase, subjects were presented with three pure tones ( = conditioned stimuli, CS) that were paired with positive, negative or neutral unconditioned stimuli. As unconditioned reinforcers we employed pictures (highly pleasant, unpleasant and neutr...
متن کاملUsing visual stimuli to enhance gait control.
Gait control challenges commonly coincide with vestibular dysfunction and there is a long history in using balance and gait activities to enhance functional mobility in this population. While much has been learned using traditional rehabilitation exercises, there is a new line of research emerging that is using visual stimuli in a very specific way to enhance gait control. For example, avatars ...
متن کاملAudio Vision: Using Audio-Visual Synchrony to Locate Sounds
Psychophysical and physiological evidence shows that sound localization of acoustic signals is strongly influenced by their synchrony with visual signals. This effect, known as ventriloquism, is at work when sound coming from the side of a TV set feels as if it were coming from the mouth of the actors. The ventriloquism effect suggests that there is important information about sound location en...
