Multisensory integration: maintaining the perception of synchrony

Curr Biol. 2003 Jul 1;13(13):R519-21. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(03)00445-7.

Abstract

We are rarely aware of differences in the arrival time of inputs to each of our senses. New research suggests that this is explained by a 'moveable window' for multisensory integration and by a 'temporal ventriloquism' effect.
