Real-world moving objects are usually defined by correlated information
in multiple sensory modalities such as vision and hearing. The aim
of our study was to assess whether simultaneous auditory supra-threshold
motion introduces a bias or affects the sensitivity in a visual motion
detection task. We demonstrate a bias in the perceived direction
of visual motion that is consistent with the direction of the auditory
motion (audio-visual motion capture). This bias effect is robust
and occurs even if the auditory and visual motion signals come from
different locations or move at different speeds. We also show that
visual motion detection thresholds are higher for consistent auditory
motion than for inconsistent motion, provided the stimuli move at
the same speed and are co-localised.
