The McGurk effect
 

Wow it fooled me.

Clip takes a bit to get started ...

as if I didn't have a headache enough. :dead:

an interesting effect though.

Interesting, frustrates my wife though, she insists it's a trick that the guy is actually saying "far", even with eyes closed.:doh: Who else can hear "far" with eyes closed or not looking at screen? I only ever hear "bah"!:hmmm:

I heard "Faa" two but only when looking at the guy making the "F" moment with his lips. I tried looking away when that part was playing and it whet right back to "Baa" when I could no longer see him.

Got kinda strange when I focused in the center of the screen. The sound was sort of distorted.

Interesting. I too was fooled, and also only while looking at the "Fah" clip. Otherwise I heard "Bah". I guess we all lip-read a little when we're listening to someone.

Mind tricks are cool.

Which leads me to my next point...
