How Our Brain Learns to Synchronize Sights and Sounds
Briefly

A recent study explored how the brain processes and integrates auditory and visual information, revealing that despite processing speed differences, integration occurs seamlessly. The study highlights the concept of the temporal binding window (TBW), a crucial mechanism allowing perception of synchronized stimuli even with slight delays. It indicates that TBW can range from 160 ms to 250 ms for simple events, and can be expanded through training. Remarkably, this training can occur within a single location yet influence the perception of synchrony across the entire visual field.
The brain's ability to integrate visual and auditory information allows for a coherent perception, often perceiving stimuli as synchronized despite timing variances of several milliseconds.
Research demonstrates that the temporal binding window enables synchronization perception; even with a delay of up to 200 ms, the brain can connect visual and auditory events seamlessly.
