NROC64H3 Lecture : Lec 6 - Multisensory perception (nearly word-for-word what was said in lecture).doc
Document Summary
-> this actually closely explains what humans actually do = humans integrate multiple senses in very optimal fashion (although not perfect) Same thing for audition; have an auditory event = click: same thing. Slide 9: multisensory illusions; mcgurk effect: under ideal conditions: hear dah dah, close eyes: hear bah bah, turn of sounds: see gah gah. 3 bands: what it illustrates is that these are actually sounds that are generated by a synthesize. It also depends on how clear the 2 modalities are; depending on that, there may be more weight for auditory or visual info. Slide 11: oculogravic (gravity) illusion: another multi-sensory/cross-modal effect, something that pilot would experience, esp on jet. Illusion caused by linear acceleration/deceleration which gives feeling of false climb/descent respectively; caused by pilot"s misinterpretation of otolith organs: perceive gravity uses the same senses as perceiving acceleration = otolith organs of vestibular sys.
