auditory-visual integration

Auditory-visual integration is the brain's ability to combine information from what we see and hear, helping us interpret our environment more accurately. For example, when watching someone speak, we use both their lip movements and voice sounds to understand what they're saying, especially in noisy places. This process enhances our perception by merging different sensory inputs into a coherent experience, allowing us to better recognize sounds, improve speech understanding, and respond appropriately. It's a natural, automatic way our brain makes sense of the world by linking visual cues with auditory signals.
