“…We observed the relative multisensory responses enhancement was larger in no cue condition than cue conditions, which is in line with previous studies ( Tang et al, 2019 ; Van der Stoep et al, 2015 ; Van der Stoep et al, 2017 ). No cue condition provided no temporal or spatial cue prior to the target.…”

“…First, higher uncertainty of the target location, higher need for spatial orienting ( Van der Stoep et al, 2015 ). When the spatial orienting evoked by the cues and the spatial orienting caused by the synchronized auditory stimuli is redundant, the multisensory integration was not as helpful since attention has already oriented to the peripheral location by cues ( Tang et al, 2019 ). Second, compared with no cue condition, the perceptual sensitivity was increased at cue conditions ( Carrasco, 2011 ; Carrasco et al, 2008 ).…”

“…Second, compared with no cue condition, the perceptual sensitivity was increased at cue conditions ( Carrasco, 2011 ; Carrasco et al, 2008 ). Studies have shown that the multisensory integration process followed the principle of inverse effectiveness, the benefit of multisensory integration is larger for weaker stimuli than for stronger stimuli ( Otto et al, 2013 ; Senkowski et al, 2011 ; Tang et al, 2019 ). Therefore, multisensory integration was reduced at cue conditions.…”

“…In Experiment 1, we asked participants to respond to V or AV, but did not set unimodal auditory trials. Thus, we calculated the rMRE using a single visual condition ( Tang et al, 2019 ). The Cohen's d was used to report the effect sizes and all statistical levels (i.e., α level) were set to 0.05.…”

Attention contains three functional network subcomponents of alerting, orienting, and executive control. The attention network test (ANT) is usually used to measure the efficiency of three attention subcomponents. Previous researches have focused on examining the unimodal attention with visual or auditory ANT paradigms. However, it is still unclear how an auditory stimulus influences the visual attention networks. This study investigated the effects of bilateral auditory stimuli (Experiment 1) and ipsilateral auditory stimulus (Experiment 2) on the visual attention subcomponents. We employed an ANT paradigm and manipulated the target modality types, including visual and audiovisual modalities. The participants were instructed to distinguish the direction of the central arrow surrounded by distractor arrows. In Experiment 1, we found that the simultaneous bilateral auditory stimuli reduced the efficiency of visual alerting and orienting, but had no significant effect on the efficiency of visual executive control. In Experiment 2, the ipsilateral auditory stimulus reduced the efficiency of visual executive control, but had no significant effect on the efficiency of visual alerting and orienting. We also observed a reduced relative multisensory response enhancement (rMRE) effect in cue condition relative to no cue condition (Experiment 1), and an increased rMRE effect in congruent condition compared with incongruent condition (Experiment 2). These results firstly provide evidence for the alerting, orienting and executive control effects in audiovisual condition. And the bilateral and ipsilateral auditory stimuli have different effects on the subcomponents of visual attention.

“…Behavioral results revealed significant IOR effects for visual, auditory, and audiovisual target stimuli. While the IOR effect for audiovisual targets following visual cues conforms to some existing research (Tang et al, 2019), other authors have not observed this effect (Van der Stoep et al, 2017).…”

Previous behavioral studies have found that inhibition of return decreases the audiovisual integration, while the underlying neural mechanisms are unknown. The current work utilized the high temporal resolution of event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate how audiovisual integration would be modulated by inhibition of return. We employed the cue-target paradigm and manipulated the target type and cue validity. Participants were required to perform the task of detection of visual (V), auditory (A), or audiovisual (AV) targets shown in the identical (valid cue) or opposed (invalid cue) side to be the preceding exogenous cue. The neural activities between AV targets and the sum of the A and V targets were compared, and their differences were calculated to present the audiovisual integration effect in different cue validity conditions (valid, invalid). The ERPs results showed that a significant super-additive audiovisual integration effect was observed on the P70 (60∼90 ms, frontal-central) only under the invalid cue condition. The significant audiovisual integration effects were observed on the N1 or P2 components (N1, 120∼180 ms, frontal-central-parietal; P2, 200∼260 ms, frontal-central-parietal) in both valid cue as well as invalid cue condition. And there were no significant differences on the later components between invalid cue and valid cue. The result offers the first neural demonstration that inhibition of return modulates the early audiovisual integration process.

Visual inhibition of return (IOR) is a mechanism for preventing attention from returning to previously examined spatial locations. Previous studies have found that auditory stimuli presented simultaneously with a visual target can reduce or even eliminate the visual IOR. However, the mechanism responsible for decreased visual IOR accompanied by auditory stimuli is unclear. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we aimed to investigate how auditory stimuli reduce visual IOR. Behaviorally, we found that the visual IOR accompanying auditory stimuli was significant but smaller than the visual IOR. Neurally, only in the validly cued trials, the superior temporal gyrus showed increased neural coupling with the intraparietal sulcus, presupplementary motor area, and some other areas in audiovisual conditions compared with visual conditions. These results suggest that the reduction in visual IOR by the simultaneous auditory stimuli may be due to a dual mechanism: rescuing the suppressed visual salience and facilitating response initiation. Our results support crossmodal interactions can occur across multiple neural levels and cognitive processing stages. This study provides a new perspective for understanding attention‐orienting networks and response initiation based on crossmodal information.
