when I watched baa and then faa I heard the sound change, I then didn't watch for baa but when it changed to faa I watched and I still heard baa. Sounds more like vaa at times too. I guess it only really works with sounds that are close to each other.
@GobBluth1 If you are hearing faa some of the time, then the illusion IS working. The audio in the video is always baa, but when you see the man's lips do the motions of making an "f" sound you hear faa instead.
this is such a mindfuck. my fingers curled up when i realised that i couldn't control what i was comprehending. what else has our brains processed for us that is not the same as reality?
acctualy this is an hoax there is 2 sounds in this video and when looking at a certain side you focus on that sound. imagine you have twenty frogs and they all make the same sound you can still focus on one frog and the sound comming from that frog.
@Jackas92 You, and people like you, are complete morons. The effect has been demonstrated many times over for decades and the majority of people are tricked by it. Why would they want to pull a hoax on people? Get real.
@NASCreations for the same reason someone would create one account and only upload one video, to earn money from commercial and or to get ppl to their website.
Well i get the point but nobody says letter "f" like that. Its not an illusion, its making "faa" sound more like "baa". I could do "maa" like "baa" also. Extremly stupid stuff, but hey, this is mainstream news stuff. All these people on work do not think and walking around like "BAAA" "BAAA" "BAAA" on lunch break and "FAAA" FAAA" "FAAA" before going to bed.
@Matu1 You haven't gotten the point. There is no change in the way he is saying "bah". He's simply looped the "bah" with a video of him saying "fah", thus pursing his lips as if to make an "f" sound and tricking your brain. Close your eyes on occasion and it'll become clear.
@Matu1 You think it's stupid that scientists have discovered that what we sense is not just the result of one sense but many? This is incredibly interesting data and has huge implications for what humans will believe when certain sensory tricks are used. On this same program, several chefs were tricked into thinking that the taste of certain drinks was something completely different to what it actually was by simply changing the colour of the drinks.
I'm not buying this. Because I had learned to count in Mandarin Chinese, I was particularly sensitive to the difference. This is one of those "emperor's new clothes" conjecture things that sets off my "snake oil radar."After continuously seeing the "F" sound AFTER the "B" sound, I still knew the difference. This guy spent 25 years with this?If you are sensitive to the discernment in this area, (musicians, especially older guitarists who remember strobe tuners) you are impervious to this.
@Orbital431 yeah, we're living in a world where not only do all the lemmings go where ever they are pointed, but it seems the sign that points them in different ways is commandeered by Pat Sajak. Meaning: Once he spins the wheel, the theory/syndrome of the day that must be subscribed to is in "this direction" or "over here"...and the "sheeple" blindly follow.
@mightforright Have you tried closing your eyes and listening to the same sound?
What's with the scepticism here? Has anyone even researched some on the net about the McGurk effect? There are clear evidence that our brain works like this.
@mightforright well yeah. But I'm trying to say that, when you see him saying vaa instead of baa, close your eyes, or just scroll down so you won't see the video, and you'll hear him saying baa again.
@flaskis heh, ya i see your point. i'm a musician as well so my ear might be a little more sensitive. kinda hard to unhear the fa after i've seen the video though.
@faeriegeek Because the audio and movements of their mouths aren't synchronized. Also, the mouth movements themselves aren't familiar. Oh, and you're probably watching the subtitles far more often than you're actually watching the people talking.
@OuroborosChoked If whomever you're talking with mixes up their mouth movements at random, then yeah, probably. If you're speaking with your date in a busy restaurant and there's a jackhammer going off outside, then looking at their face is probably the least you can do.
When he changes his expression, he tries to say bah unnaturally, and it sounds like a blend of bah and vah. Close your eyes and listen. He is not saying the same thing and cannot because he is moving his lips differently.
@sean10222 The sound and video are not recorded at the same time. The sound has been dubbed over when he would have actually be saying 'FAH" the recording is saying "BAH." And that is the point of the allusion, although we are hearing something our vision is so powerful that it overrides our perception of the sound! Seriously amazing!
I tried closing my eyes (after it should the FA mouth), still thinking it was FA, and still heard FA, I suppose that's due to not only what the eyes see, but what the brain thinks/presumes (usually due to what it sees, but not in this case)
I hear a retard. I looked away when I saw him making the mouth motions of "fa" instead of "ba", and it stayed as ba. So what are you trying to show us? I'm sure anyone who's not an idiot can figure out what's going on without you explaining it to us.
@yodaisgod2 Unless you're in the field of animation, film, psychology, acting, story telling, anthropology, or are just generally interested in how YOUR OWN RACE WORKS.
@yodaisgod2 Do you realize how ridiculous that statement is? He's not an oncologist and I doubt you are either. That's why neither he nor you is currently trying to "figure out cancer." Or do you just think that everybody in the world should be on this assignment? Have nobody that researches space travel or human emotion or demographics. How narrow is your view of the world that you don't think everything should be explored, especially the intricate details of human perception?
I mean if you demand that someone else contribute to this bullshit notion of societal wellbeing, why don't you step up to the plate. Also after you cure cancer then please focus on heart desease and HIV and radiation and stupidity and the recipe for the perfect stroganoff and a new song for the radio since all we hear the same crap
Though then again I might have just stuck my foot in my mouth u might be an oncologist but I doubt it
@Psychelectric Cancer can never be cured because the pharmaceutical industrial will never allow that to happen. There is no money in a cure. Just in research and prolonging life. Same goes with AIDS and HIV. More money in TRYING to keep people alive.Stupid is an inherited gene. Just ask your parents.
Moreover, pharmacuetical companies can make progress in cancer drugs, because chemo is highly toxic and does kill some people undergoing treatment. Also many people refuse chemo due to the toxic effects. Thus if people refuse your drugs or die while taking your drugs you can't make money either. And I know how corrupt pharmacuetical companies are, and I know what radiation is, that wasn't the point.
But either way if you want to divert my question go ahead.
@Psychelectric Can't cure radiation because it's been around since the birth of the universe. I do have the perfect receipt for stroganoff. You probably have seen it in the store under the "Betty Croker" label. Some times they are on sale at your local grocery store.
Make sure your foot is clean before you stick it in your mouth.
Damn you missed my point entirely, and if you can't detect the sarcasm with the whole radiation, stroganoff etc. thing than I'm sorry. I'll spell it out for you.
You stated in a previous comment "He should spend more time figure out how to cure cancer instead. That's more valuable to society." To which I would reply . . . (this being my point)
What are you doing that's valuable to society? (Such as, Why don't you "cure" cancer?)
It seems as if you missed my point so I'll spell it out for you . . . In a previous comment you stated "He should spend more time figure out how to cure cancer instead. That's more valuable to society."

could someone please make a PROPER video of this.... I keep looking for videos of the McGurk effect without someone talking during the process, but I keep coming up with videos of people that are doing it completely wrong, and they don't even work at all.
If you read this and ignore the narrator instead of watching the video, then you'll notice that the McGurk effect is all about a bloke doing an awful impression of a sheep for about 2 minutes.
This makes me wonder about the end of the movie "A Christmas Story" when the Chinese waiters are singing "Deck the harrs with boughs of horry, RA RA RA RA RA RA RA RA RA"
@Dooality did you close your eyes during the part where it looked like he was saying "Fah" and hear "Bah" and then when you reopen them did you hear "Bah" when it looked like he was still saying "Fah" you should be doing it this way, just for your info :-)
Fascinating effect. The human mind is so complex, we're only beginning to understand it. Read Richard Dawkins "God Delusion" if you really want your mind opened
Holy living shit, the narrator won't shut the fuck up during EVERY "Fa" moment, so none of us can hear it anyway. She only ever talks over the top of the "Fa" effect, so we can't tell EITHER Way. Fuck!
What a STUPID commet bonbon...your screen name AND that STUPID comment pretty much shows your intelligence!! Some people are just SOOOO ignorant!! Go back to your porn hole MORON!!
@dannymaceachern Yeah- I know, but when the video- his mouth was making the FAA shape- i still hear BAA... it sounded nothing like FAA.... I didn't even know it was supposed to be slightly different... I was confused... :S
@EndersGamez ... did you understand the video at all? The idea is that he looks like he's doing an "F" sound, so we hear it as an "F", even when it's actually a "B". As evidenced by the split screen.
The effect seems to be affected by the mother language. For example my mother language is German. When I watched this clip I had the feeling, that the images of the alternate version didn't fit at all to the sound. All I heard was "ba".
But what I know is, that the McGurk works on me with "ba" and "da".
@ArgoIo well, my mother language is german 2, but i do hear BA and VA/FA. I guess thats cause we do have same sounds as in english, for example imagine wahrscheinlich with a strong emphasis on the wa.
@unbeingdeadisntalive Hmm... Applied to a word such as "wahrscheinlich" (English: probably) it would be a lot more difficult to tell the difference. You're right.
There are individuals in whom this can get very tangled. Many colleagues and I work in film and video, and part of the editing process is often matching of lip movements to not necessarily the actual sync dialog track. Because we're used to watching for minutae of lip movement, the McGurk effect can kind of phase in and out in the same clip.
MannChristian's comment is, I think, a bit naive. You're specifically looking at the lip movements, and knowing what to watch for, with no distractions.
I can not buy it. The visuals aren't the same for "Bah" and "Fah". With 'Bah' the lower lip starts out over the upper teeth. Then with 'Fah' you will notice that the lower lip starts out behind the upper teeth. My eyes do not decieve my ears by way of my brain, I do believe that this is known as the McGurkle Effect and I can only chuckle.
This illusion effect is also why people were able to get away with less than crisp sound effects as long as the visuals were good. The sheer importance of visual effects might also be why some amateur flash game coders forget about sound effects at first.
I plugged in headphones to make it clearer and I hear BA almost every time.
Only time it starts to sound like FA or VA is when they make the sound softer when the woman is speaking because then I can't hear the sound as clearly.
@mikevaiana We don't hear the wrong sound, we process the sound incorrectly. If we heard the wrong sound the dependent factor wouldn't be vision, it would be auditory. The sound never actually changes, only our perception of it. There is no spoon.
The McGurk effect offers evidence that we lipread automatically. It’s also consistent with neuroimaging research showing that the brain responds to lipread information as if it’s hearing speech. Seeing a face silently articulate induces activity in the ‘hearing’ areas of the brain including auditory cortex. This is true for all of us, whether hearing or deaf. These findings are part of the evidence that speech perception evolved as a multisensory function.
Eh illusion didn't work for me.. Didn't understand it until they explained it, and it still didn't work.. When he was saying fa with his lips, I thought he was trying to lip sync to ba or something and that was the illusion. ehhh
There's an error in the commentary. She says we can't trust what we hear, but what we can't trust is what we see. What we hear is accurate until you add in visual perception, and the our brain reconfigures what we're hearing to match our visual perception.

Fascinating effect. The human mind is so complex, we're only beginning to understand it. Read Richard Dawkins "God Delusion" if you really want your mind opened

Holy living shit, the narrator won't shut the fuck up during EVERY "Fa" moment, so none of us can hear it anyway. She only ever talks over the top of the "Fa" effect, so we can't tell EITHER Way. Fuck!

@dannymaceachern Yeah- I know, but when the video- his mouth was making the FAA shape- i still hear BAA... it sounded nothing like FAA.... I didn't even know it was supposed to be slightly different... I was confused... :S

When he's doing the " FA " noise, close your eye's/look away from the screen and it's " BA ". Seriously screwed with my head.

@StXander That's because it's exactly the same sound-clip as when he says "ba". It's kinda the whole point of the effect >.>

that was total horse shit, when it did the split screen, you could clearly see his lips forming an "F" sound v.s. a "b" sound.

tankgirl73 1 year ago
@EndersGamez ... did you understand the video at all? The idea is that he looks like he's doing an "F" sound, so we hear it as an "F", even when it's actually a "B". As evidenced by the split screen.

The effect seems to be affected by the mother language. For example my mother language is German. When I watched this clip I had the feeling, that the images of the alternate version didn't fit at all to the sound. All I heard was "ba".
But what I know is, that the McGurk works on me with "ba" and "da".
ArgoIo 1 year ago
@ArgoIo well, my mother language is german 2, but i do hear BA and VA/FA. I guess thats cause we do have same sounds as in english, for example imagine wahrscheinlich with a strong emphasis on the wa.
This is no offence!
unbeingdeadisntalive 1 year ago
@unbeingdeadisntalive Hmm... Applied to a word such as "wahrscheinlich" (English: probably) it would be a lot more difficult to tell the difference. You're right.

There are individuals in whom this can get very tangled. Many colleagues and I work in film and video, and part of the editing process is often matching of lip movements to not necessarily the actual sync dialog track. Because we're used to watching for minutae of lip movement, the McGurk effect can kind of phase in and out in the same clip.
MannChristian's comment is, I think, a bit naive. You're specifically looking at the lip movements, and knowing what to watch for, with no distractions.

I can not buy it. The visuals aren't the same for "Bah" and "Fah". With 'Bah' the lower lip starts out over the upper teeth. Then with 'Fah' you will notice that the lower lip starts out behind the upper teeth. My eyes do not decieve my ears by way of my brain, I do believe that this is known as the McGurkle Effect and I can only chuckle.

This illusion effect is also why people were able to get away with less than crisp sound effects as long as the visuals were good. The sheer importance of visual effects might also be why some amateur flash game coders forget about sound effects at first.

This only works if you can't hear it clearly.
I plugged in headphones to make it clearer and I hear BA almost every time.
Only time it starts to sound like FA or VA is when they make the sound softer when the woman is speaking because then I can't hear the sound as clearly.

I'd hear BAA and FAA a lot better if the narrator would shut the hell up for a second.

@mikevaiana We don't hear the wrong sound, we process the sound incorrectly. If we heard the wrong sound the dependent factor wouldn't be vision, it would be auditory. The sound never actually changes, only our perception of it. There is no spoon.

Has anyone else noticed that the narrator is ALWAYS talking during the "Fa/va"?
F3N4TIK 1 year ago
From my book:
The McGurk effect offers evidence that we lipread automatically. It’s also consistent with neuroimaging research showing that the brain responds to lipread information as if it’s hearing speech. Seeing a face silently articulate induces activity in the ‘hearing’ areas of the brain including auditory cortex. This is true for all of us, whether hearing or deaf. These findings are part of the evidence that speech perception evolved as a multisensory function.

There's an error in the commentary. She says we can't trust what we hear, but what we can't trust is what we see. What we hear is accurate until you add in visual perception, and the our brain reconfigures what we're hearing to match our visual perception.
