| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Effects of visual speech on early auditory evoked fields were examined using a helmet-shaped magnetoencephalography. Significant visual-speech effects on P50m (shortening of latency and reduction of amplitude) were observed in both hemispheres, but those on N100m were observed only in the left hemisphere. The present results may indicate that the left hemispheric dominance of lip-reading effects, which is well known at the level of the superior temporal sulcus, begins to be apparent from around the N100m level, although the lip-reading effects could be observed at the P50m level. Moreover, visual speech effects on N100m observed in the left hemisphere were maintained as long as the temporal asynchrony between A/V stimuli was within 100 ms, but not with audio lag of -500 and +500 ms; i.e., the temporal window (a limited range in which A/V perceptual binding occurs) observed in the N100m in the left hemisphere was well-correlated with that in psychophysical measurements.
