Abstract :
The paired-stimuli paradigms were used to study cross-modal neural interactions between the visual and auditory systems in human. It was found that the primary visual cortex was actively involved in the ´illusory double-flash´ phenomenon. The similar paradigms were used to study the influence of MR scanner noise on human visual activities from the perspective of neural interaction. The results reveal that the gradient acoustic noise does interfere with the neural behavior in human visual cortex
