Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, background): “The available evidence from behavioral studies suggests that the crossmodal facilitation between arbitrary pairings of visual and auditory stimuli (such as letters and pure tones) is only observed when the sound and the visual target reliably co-occur during the course of the experiment (Lippert et ”
Eccentricity dependent auditory enhancement of visual stimulus detection but not discrimination (2013, methodology): “Such effects of multisensory co-stimulation have been convincingly described in many previous studies and are not the focus here (see e.g., Lippert et al., 2007; Jaekl and Soto-Faraco, 2010; Chen et al., 2011; Spence, 2011).”
Sound-Induced Enhancement of Low-Intensity Vision: Multisensory Influences on Human Sensory-Specific Cortices and Thalamic Bodies Relate to Perceptual Enhancement of Visual Detection Sensitivity (2010, background): “This separation is important; for example, some recent studies attributed behavioral effects of an uninformative sound on visual judgments to a response bias rather than increased sensitivity (Marks et al., 2003; Odgaard et al., 2003; Lippert et al., 2007), whereas other groups have reported enhance”
