The study by Bushara et al. on multisensory integration showed that when subjects were presented with a visual of two lines moving towards each other accompanied by a crashing sound at the moment of intersection, they were more likely to perceive the lines as colliding and then bouncing back from each other. This illustrates how auditory information can influence visual perception, making the event appear more dynamic and interactive.
