33 The McGurk illusion is a prominent example of audiovisual speech perception and the influence, visual 34 stimuli can have on auditory perception. In this illusion a visual speech stimulus influences the 35 perception of an incongruent auditory stimulus resulting in a fused novel percept. In this high-density 36 electroencephalography (EEG) study we were interested in the neural signatures of...

This paper presents a first study in which a recently reported intermodal perceptual illusion known as the rubber hand illusion is experimentally investigated under mediated conditions. When one’s own hand is placed out of view and a visible fake hand is repeatedly stroked and tapped in synchrony with the unseen hand, subjects report a strong sense in which the fake hand is experienced as part ...

Studying visual illusions is critical to understanding typical visual perception. We investigated whether rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) perceived the Delboeuf illusion in a similar manner as human adults (Homo sapiens). To test this, in Experiment 1, we presented monkeys and humans with a relative discrimination task that required subjects to choose the lar...
