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.
