“…In half of the person-incongruent trials, both S1 and S2 were of the same age and were, therefore, response-congruent, while in the other half of person-incongruent trials, S1 and S2 were of a different age and, therefore, response-incongruent. This design allowed us to dissociate voice priming effects and response priming effects (Föcker et al, 2011;Noppeney et al, 2008). Overall, 50% congruent trials, 25% person-incongruent but age (and thus response) congruent trials and 25% person-and age (response) incongruent trials were presented.…”

Purpose: Intra-and crossmodal neuroplasticity have been reported to underlie superior voice processing skills in congenitally blind individuals. The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) in order to test if such compensatory plasticity is limited to the developing brain. Methods: Late blind individuals were compared to sighted controls in their ability to identify human voices. A priming paradigm was employed in which two successive voices (S1, S2) of the same (person-congruent) or different speakers (person-incongruent) were presented. Participants made an old-young decision on the S2. Results: In both groups ERPs to the auditory S2 were more negative in person-incongruent than in person-congruent trials between 200-300 ms. A topographic analysis suggested a more posteriorly shifted distribution of the Person Match effect (person-incongruent minus person-congruent trials) in late blind individuals compared to sighted controls. Conclusion: In contrast to congenitally blind individuals, late blind individuals did not show an early Person Match effect in the time range of the N1, suggesting that crossmodal compensation is mediated by later processing steps rather than by changes at early perceptual levels.

“…For example, we learn the combination of someone’s face and voice through numerous instances of exposure to this specific audio-visual combination 5 . Thus, besides the supramodal features mentioned above (time, space, number and meaning), prior knowledge, derived from experience with and exposure to the environment, might create an expectation (prior) about the co-occurrence of unimodal events 6 .…”

Bayesian models propose that multisensory integration depends on both sensory evidence (the likelihood) and priors indicating whether or not two inputs belong to the same event. The present study manipulated the prior for dynamic auditory and visual stimuli to co-occur and tested the predicted enhancement of multisensory binding as assessed with a simultaneity judgment task. In an initial learning phase participants were exposed to a subset of auditory-visual combinations. In the test phase the previously encountered audio-visual stimuli were presented together with new combinations of the auditory and visual stimuli from the learning phase, audio-visual stimuli containing one learned and one new sensory component, and audio-visual stimuli containing completely new auditory and visual material. Auditory-visual asynchrony was manipulated. A higher proportion of simultaneity judgements was observed for the learned cross-modal combinations than for new combinations of the same auditory and visual elements, as well as for all other conditions. This result suggests that prior exposure to certain auditory-visual combinations changed the expectation (i.e., the prior) that their elements belonged to the same event. As a result, multisensory binding became more likely despite unchanged sensory evidence of the auditory and visual elements.
