The McGurk effect is a compelling demonstration of how we all use visual speech information. The effect shows that we can't help but integrate visual speech into what we 'hear'.

    Silly. I heard "fah" and "bah" without closing my eyes.

    I do hear sounds in my head when likes turn on, change color, or pulse.

    The guy needs to work on his diction. When I say BA or FA they sound nothing alike.

    The whole point is that your brain is falsely distinguishing between BA and FA because the picture changes. The only sound played is the BA and because the guy in the video looks like he's saying FA, it seems to us like he is even though the sound that is actually there is just BA.
