Spatiotemporal interactions between audition and touch depend on hand posture.

Journal article

We report two experiments designed to assess the consequences of posture change on audiotactile spatiotemporal interactions. In Experiment 1, participants had to discriminate the direction of an auditory stream (consisting of the sequential presentation of two tones from different spatial positions) while attempting to ignore a task-irrelevant tactile stream (consisting of the sequential presentation of two vibrations, one to each of the participant's hands). The tactile stream presented to t...
