“…The time it takes for threatening objects to reach one position or a specific position is the time-to-collision or time-to-contact (TTC) ( DeLucia and Liddell, 1998 ; DeLucia et al, 2003 ). Estimation of TTC reflects the comprehensive processing ability of spatiotemporal information ( Chang and Jazayeri, 2018 ; Patrick and Anderson, 2021 ). TTC estimation (TTCE) enables individuals to better estimate the actual remaining time of object collision in a complex and changeable environment, and its accuracy directly affects individuals’ adaptation to the environment and performance of various perception-motor tasks.…”

“…Many studies have shown that auditory stimuli affect visual events ( Braly et al, 2021 ; Patrick and Anderson, 2021 ), because the auditory domain has many advantages over the visual system; specifically, sound presentation serves as an alert or provides warning content that leads to a high arousal state ( Juslin and Västfjäll, 2008 ; Asaoka and Gyoba, 2016 ). For example, Braly et al (2021) found that a snake sound was judged as arriving earlier than the corresponding control sound, providing partial support that threat-related effects on TTC estimates for visual objects can also occur in the auditory domain.…”

Reacting to a moving object requires an ability to estimate when a moving object reaches its destination, also referred to as the time-to-contact (TTC) estimation. Although the TTC estimation of threatening visually moving objects is known to be underestimated, the effect of the affective content of auditory information on visual TTC estimation remains unclear. We manipulated the velocity and presentation time to investigate the TTC of a threat or non-threat target with the addition of auditory information. In the task, a visual or an audiovisual target moved from right to left and disappeared behind an occluder. Participants’ task was to estimate the TTC of the target, they needed to press a button when they thought that the target contacted a destination behind the occluder. Behaviorally, the additional auditory affective content facilitated TTC estimation; velocity was a more critical factor than presentation time in determining the audiovisual threat facilitation effect. Overall, the results indicate that exposure to auditory affective content can influence TTC estimation and that the effect of velocity on TTC estimation will provide more information than presentation time.

“…Specifically investigating the real motion condition, Prime and Harris used a moving dot, produced by a laser pointer on a screen, and a pure tone diffused by a pair of audio speakers placed behind the screen, to investigate motion prediction capability ( Prime and Harris, 2010 ). Patrick and Anderson explored the influence of auditory rhythm on visual motion on prediction, using a disk moving on a screen and a variable tonal structure ( Patrick et al, 2021 ). Brooks et al (2007) investigated the effect of auditory motion on visual perception of biological motion, using a set of moving point reproducing the biological pointlight walkers of Johansson (1973) .…”

Multimodal perception is a key factor in obtaining a rich and meaningful representation of the world. However, how each stimulus combines to determine the overall percept remains a matter of research. The present work investigates the effect of sound on the bimodal perception of motion. A visual moving target was presented to the participants, associated with a concurrent sound, in a time reproduction task. Particular attention was paid to the structure of both the auditory and the visual stimuli. Four different laws of motion were tested for the visual motion, one of which is biological. Nine different sound profiles were tested, from an easier constant sound to more variable and complex pitch profiles, always presented synchronously with motion. Participants’ responses show that constant sounds produce the worst duration estimation performance, even worse than the silent condition; more complex sounds, instead, guarantee significantly better performance. The structure of the visual stimulus and that of the auditory stimulus appear to condition the performance independently. Biological motion provides the best performance, while the motion featured by a constant-velocity profile provides the worst performance. Results clearly show that a concurrent sound influences the unified perception of motion; the type and magnitude of the bias depends on the structure of the sound stimulus. Contrary to expectations, the best performance is not generated by the simplest stimuli, but rather by more complex stimuli that are richer in information.
