With the presentation of temporally congruent but spatially incongruent sound, we can degrade visual performance significantly at detection and recognition levels. We further show that this effect is robust to different types and locations of both auditory and visual stimuli. We also analyze participants behavior with an eye tracker to study the underlying cause of the degradation effect. We find that the performance degradation occurs even in the absence of saccades towards the sound source, during normal gaze behavior. This suggests that this effect is not caused by oculomotor phenomena, but rather by neural interactions or attentional shifts. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/682080/EU/Intuitive editing of visual appearance from real-world datasets/CHAMELEON This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 682080-CHAMELEON info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TIN2016-78753-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TIN2016-79710-P info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.379 2020 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES 17 / 72 = 0.236 2020 Q1 T1 1.24 2020 Multidisciplinary 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Serrano, Ana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-7796-3177 Gutiérrez, Diego Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-7503-7022 Masia, Belén Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-0060-7278 5007 570 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
