summarySignals from the auditory and the visual modality are usually highly correlated and the human brain has developed different strategies to integrate signals from these two modalities. Which strategies are employed depend on various stimulus parameters such as spatial proximity of the auditory and visual signals. We used different tasks (manual reaction times and motion detection) and different techniques (behavioural and EEG) to explore these integration rules. We conclude that spatial co-localisation is necessary for effective low-level integration. Our data are also consistent with the idea that humans possess integration mechanisms specialised for ecologically relevant motion, such as biological motion.
