Hearing With Your Eyes: McGurk Effect

The things that we hear are a combination of what we see and what we hear. This is called the McGurl Effect. In the video, she was pronoucing a nonsense word. When we close our eyes, we can hear baba, but when we open our eyes, we heard gaga. However, if you mute it, and just watch as she pronouces the nonsense word, it a whole new word. This is because when we hear (with our eyes open), we see and hear something and then our brains put them together to make a combination of it. Like what Dr. Khul said in the video, in order to make "machines behave like people, we have to get them to take in the same information in as we do." After watching this video, I thought "wow, now making humanlike robots is so much harder than I already thought." I never knew that such an effect actually happens, now we can add this to a long list of things we have to figure out in order to make a human robot.
