Effects of Selective and Divided Attention on Audiovisual Interaction
In everyday life, visual and auditory are the most common forms of sensory information. Therefore, audiovisual interaction in the brain plays an important role in performance and perception. In addition, our attention system allows us to dynamically select and enhance the processing of objects and events that are the most relevant at each moment. Some studies suggest that attention can modulate audiovisual integration. However, different neural activity of multimodal audiovisual integration can be seen in different attention conditions. This review focuses on the question of what affects selective and divided attention in audiovisual interaction. Neural activities of audiovisual under selective and divided attention conditions are also discussed. This review aims to bring together and summarize previous studies on the interactions between attention and audiovisual integration.
