A while ago someone posted a video of a person's lips pronouncing a syllable with mis-matching audio. If you listened to the sound while watching, it made one sound, but if you closed your eyes you heard something different.
It was an example of how auditory function is affected by visual input.
Anyone know what I'm talking about, or better yet what page it came from? tia

All the vids google is giving me are of consonant changes ("bah" is heard as "dah" etc), but the one I remember was vowels. I think it was a woman, too, saying "oh" but it was heard as "oooh" (ü) when you looked at it.
Thanks though, at least I know what i'm looking for.
