Mike J. gets a no-prize that uses a really annoying sound to make a really neat point for bringing us this brief, but vivid, demonstration of "the McGurk effect." It would seem our perception of language relies more on vision than would at once seem to be the case. I wonder what the implications are for blind people?
This just in: When unable to completely resolve a sonic cue, people try to draw context from other sensory information!
QUICK, TO THE ROMEROMOBILE!
