“…In the context of cross-modal influence on visual competition, several researches have reported that auditory and tactile stimuli that had cross-modal congruencies with visual stimuli could bias dominant percepts (Ando and Ashida, 2003;Bruno et al, 2007;James and Blake, 2004;van Ee et al, 2009). These biases could lead to the distortion of the alternation frequency; when the auditory or tactile inputs were congruent with the visual inputs, perceptual alternation to incongruent percepts would be suppressed (e.g., Bruno et al, 2007).…”

“…These biases could lead to the distortion of the alternation frequency; when the auditory or tactile inputs were congruent with the visual inputs, perceptual alternation to incongruent percepts would be suppressed (e.g., Bruno et al, 2007). In such cases, the change in perceptual stability would not be essential but would be a subsidiary effect.…”

“…For example, sound alters the interpretation of ambiguous visual events (e.g., stream-bounce illusion, Sekuler et al, 1997;Watanabe and Shimojo, 2001), and touching haptic objects biases the interpretation of the Necker cube or the structure from motion stimulus (Ando and Ashida, 2003;Blake et al, 2004;Bruno et al, 2007;James and Blake, 2004). Recently, van Ee et al (2009) demonstrated that visual inputs that shared temporal configurations with auditory or tactile inputs tended to be dominant percepts in resolving binocular rivalry.…”

“…Bruno et al (2007) addressed this issue by revealing that the alternation frequency from consistent to inconsistent percepts decreased after haptic inputs. In their study, observers reported the percept of a visual Necker cube while touching a haptic cube.…”

In visual competition, the perception of ambiguous visual patterns changes spontaneously. Although the process causing this perceptual alternation remains unclear, recent evidence suggests various types of non-visual influences in resolving visual ambiguity. In the present study, we investigated cross-modal modulation of a transient stimulus on visual perceptual stability (i.e., alternation frequency). Participants observed an ambiguous visual figure and reported their perceptual alternations. Concurrently, we presented visual and auditory transient events. The results revealed that the auditory as well as visual transient events destabilize the current perception (i.e., they increase alternation frequency) around 0.5-1.5 s after the event. In addition, the magnitudes of auditory and visual effects were comparable and positively correlated within participants. These results suggest that the visual perceptual stability can be under the influence of processes that are shared by different senses.

Visual perception can be changed by co-occurring input from other sensory modalities. Here, we explored how self-generated finger movements (left-right or up-down key presses) affect visual motion perception. In Experiment 1, motion perception of a blinking bar was shifted in the direction of co-occurring hand motor movements, indicative of motor-induced visual motion (MIVM). In Experiment 2, moving and static blinking bars were combined with either directional moving or stationary hand motor movements. Results showed that the directional component in the hand movement was crucial for MIVM as stationary motor movements even declined visual motion perception. In Experiment 3, the role of response bias was excluded in a two-alternative forced-choice task that ruled out the effect of response strategies. All three experiments demonstrated that alternating key presses (either horizontally or vertically aligned) induce illusory visual motion and that stationary motor movements (without a vertical or horizontal direction) induce the opposite effect, namely a decline in visual motion (more static) perception.
