Abstract:
Most events are processed by a number of neural pathways. These
pathways often differ considerably in processing speed. Thus, coherent
perception requires some form of synchronization mechanism. Moreover,
this mechanism must be flexible, since neural processing speed changes
over the life of an organism. Here we provide behavioral evidence that
humans can adapt to a new intersensory temporal relationship (which
was artificially produced by delaying visual feedback). The conflict
between these results and previous work that failed to find such
improvements can be explained by considering the present results as a
form of sensorimotor adaption.
