The McGurk Effect and How Different Sensory Parts of the Brain Interact with Each Other

Researchers in this article look deeper into the connection between how the auditory and visual cortices interact with each other, often leading to conflicting interpretations of the sound that can both be harmful and useful to a sound design, a phenomenon known as the McGurk Effect.
