How Ventriloquism Works
نویسنده
چکیده
The first illusion is called “visual capture” and it works as given below. If something nearby makes a sound, you can pretty much tell where the sound comes from. But if you see something else move at exactly the same time, you might get the impression that the sound actually comes from the moving object. If a bird chirps in a bush, and you see a door open at the same time, you might think that the chirp came from the door and that the hinges are rusty. The sound is “captured” by the visual movement.

An fMRI Study of the Ventriloquism Effect
In spatial perception, visual information has higher acuity than auditory information and we often misperceive sound-source locations when spatially disparate visual stimuli are presented simultaneously. Ventriloquists make good use of this auditory illusion. In this study, we investigated neural substrates of the ventriloquism effect to understand the neural mechanism of multimodal integration...
متن کاملA Neural Network Model of Ventriloquism Effect and Aftereffect
Presenting simultaneous but spatially discrepant visual and auditory stimuli induces a perceptual translocation of the sound towards the visual input, the ventriloquism effect. General explanation is that vision tends to dominate over audition because of its higher spatial reliability. The underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. We address this question via a biologically inspired neural n...
متن کاملA Neural Network Model Can Explain Ventriloquism Aftereffect and Its Generalization across Sound Frequencies
Exposure to synchronous but spatially disparate auditory and visual stimuli produces a perceptual shift of sound location towards the visual stimulus (ventriloquism effect). After adaptation to a ventriloquism situation, enduring sound shift is observed in the absence of the visual stimulus (ventriloquism aftereffect). Experimental studies report opposing results as to aftereffect generalizatio...
متن کاملAn event-related potential investigation of the time-course of temporal ventriloquism.
Temporal ventriloquism refers to the phenomenon that a sound presented in close temporal proximity of a visual stimulus attracts its perceived temporal occurrence. Here, we investigate the time-course of the neuronal processes underlying temporal ventriloquism, using event-related brain potentials. To measure shifts in perceived temporal visual occurrence, we used a paradigm in which a sound mo...
متن کاملNo effect of synesthetic congruency on temporal ventriloquism
A sound presented in temporal proximity to a light can alter the perceived temporal occurrence of that light (temporal ventriloquism). Recent studies have suggested that pitch-size synesthetic congruency (i.e., a natural association between the relative pitch of a sound and the relative size of a visual stimulus) might affect this phenomenon. To reexamine this, participants made temporal order ...
