Abstract

In everyday life, our brains integrate various kinds of information from different modalities to perceive our complex environment. Spatial and temporal proximity of multisensory stimuli is required for multisensory integration. Many researches have shown that temporal asynchrony of visual-auditory stimuli can influence multisensory integration. However, the neural mechanisms of asynchrony inputs were not well understood. Some researchers believe that humans have a relatively broad time window, in which stimuli from different modalities and asynchronous inputs tends to be integrated into a single unified percept. Others believe that the human brain can actively coordinate the auditory and visual input so that we do not notice the asynchronous inputs of multisensory stimuli. This review focuses on the question of how the temporal factor affects the processing of audiovisual information.
