Visual motion information influences audiovisual simultaneity

Motion information plays an important role in our daily life and temporal information is influential in dynamic environment. We therefore investigated how visual apparent motion information influences temporal perception. Participants performed audiovisual temporal order judgment (TOJ) task under apparent motion condition and non-apparent motion condition. We showed that visual apparent motion has resulted in faster visual processing and higher temporal resolution compared with non-apparent motion. Our findings suggest motion information accelerates temporal perception and improves temporal resolution.
