Auditory spatial perception is strongly affected by visual cues. For
example, if auditory and visual stimuli are presented synchronously but from
different positions, the auditory event is mislocated towards the locus of
the visual stimulus�the ventriloquism effect. This 'visual capture' also
occurs in motion perception in which a static auditory stimulus appears to
move with the visual moving object. We investigated how the human perceptual
system coordinates complementary inputs from auditory and visual senses.
Here we show that an auditory aftereffect occurs from adaptation to visual
motion in depth. After a few minutes of viewing a square moving in depth, a
steady sound was perceived as changing loudness in the opposite direction.
Adaptation to a combination of auditory and visual stimuli changing in a
compatible direction increased the aftereffect and the effect of visual
adaptation almost disappeared when the directions were opposite. On the
other hand, listening to a sound changing in intensity did not affect the
visual changing-size aftereffect. The results provide psychophysical
evidence that, for processing of motion in depth, the auditory system
responds to both auditory changing intensity and visual motion in depth.
