Domain-specific

• Ventriloquism Effect
  • The definitive quantitative demonstration is Alais and Burr's 2004 study ("The ventriloquist effect results from near-optimal bimodal integration," Current Biology).

    This sourceShows that blurring the visual target weakens and then reverses auditory capture - sound captures vision once vision is poorly localised - with bimodal precision exceeding either unimodal estimate, all of it explained by optimal variance-weighted combination rather than one sense capturing the other.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
