Speech-specificity of two audiovisual integration effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seeing the talker’s articulatory mouth movements can influence the auditory speech percept both in speech identification and detection tasks. Here we show that these audiovisual integration effects also occur for sine wave speech (SWS), which is an impoverished speech signal that naïve observers often fail to perceive as speech. While audiovisual integration in the identification task only occurred when observers were informed of the speech-like nature of SWS, integration occurred in the detection task both for informed and naïve observers. This shows that both speech-specific and general mechanisms underlie audiovisual integration of speech.

A measure for assessing the effects of audiovisual speech integration.
We propose a measure of audiovisual speech integration that takes into account accuracy and response times. This measure should prove beneficial for researchers investigating multisensory speech recognition, since it relates to normal-hearing and aging populations. As an example, age-related sensory decline influences both the rate at which one processes information and the ability to utilize c...
متن کاملUncertainty and attention in audiovisual speech perception
This study deals with uncertainty and attention in audiovisual speech perception. Subjects were exposed to audiovisual stimuli where independent variable was bivalent: either blocked to one ear or uncertainty about in which ear the next stimulus would appear. The hypothesis, that uncertainty would inhibit audiovisual integration was motivated by an earlier study (Öhrström et al, 2011) but these...
متن کاملVision of tongue movements bias auditory speech perception.
Audiovisual speech perception is likely based on the association between auditory and visual information into stable audiovisual maps. Conflicting audiovisual inputs generate perceptual illusions such as the McGurk effect. Audiovisual mismatch effects could be either driven by the detection of violations in the standard audiovisual statistics or via the sensorimotor reconstruction of the distal...
متن کاملElectrophysiological evidence for speech-specific audiovisual integration.
Lip-read speech is integrated with heard speech at various neural levels. Here, we investigated the extent to which lip-read induced modulations of the auditory N1 and P2 (measured with EEG) are indicative of speech-specific audiovisual integration, and we explored to what extent the ERPs were modulated by phonetic audiovisual congruency. In order to disentangle speech-specific (phonetic) integ...
متن کاملAudiovisual quality integration for interactive communications
This paper investigates multi-modal aspects of audiovisual quality assessment for interactive communication services. It shows how perceived auditory and visual qualities integrate to an overall audiovisual quality perception in different experimental contexts. Two audiovisual experiments are presented and provide experimental data for the present analysis. First, two experimental contexts are ...
