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'.

    I'm looking at a picture of Michelle Dockery ( eldest daughter in Downton Abbey ) while listening to this. It seems like she is narrating in the video..... McGurk Effect?

    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.
