“…Several recent studies have, however, put into question the impenetrability of audiovisual integration to attentional modulation, both in the speech (Tiippana et al, 2004, 2011; Alsius et al, 2005, 2007; Soto-Faraco and Alsius, 2007, 2009; Andersen et al, 2009; Fairhall and Macaluso, 2009; Alsius and Soto-Faraco, 2011; Buchan and Munhall, 2011, 2012) and the non-speech domains (e.g., Senkowski et al, 2005; Talsma and Woldorff, 2005; Fujisaki et al, 2006; Talsma et al, 2007). Of particular interest for the current study, Alsius et al (2005) tested to which extent audiovisual speech perception could be modulated by attentional load.…”
