Distinct mechanisms of temporal binding in generalized and cross-modal flash-lag effects.

ABSTRACT: It remains unknown how the brain temporally binds sensory data across different modalities and attributes to create coherent perceptual experiences. To address this question, we measured what we see at the time we experience an event using a generalized version of the flash-lag effect (FLE) for combinations of visual attribute (bar orientation, face orientation, or face identity) and probe modality (visual or auditory). We asked participants to judge the content of rapidly and serially presented images seen at the same time as a briefly presented visual (flash) or auditory (click) probe and estimated the "time windows" contributing to decisions using reverse correlation analysis. We also used displays in which the visual attribute of a stimulus continuously changed and measured FLEs around
