In some patients, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes life-threatening elevations in intracranial pressure (ICP) arising from mass effect of the hematoma and edema. Accordingly, edema is a common endpoint to gauge treatment efficacy in rodent ICH models.

Multisensory integration was assessed using two audiovisual illusions. In the McGurk effect, auditory speech perception is altered by incongruent visual speech. In the Shams illusion, the number of seen flashes is altered by an incongruent number of heard beeps. The illusions were tested in 10-year-old children, whose musical aptitude was also assessed. The strength of the McGurk effect was not...
