The temporal precision of audiovisual integration is associated with longitudinal fall incidents but not sensorimotor fall risk in older adults by Alan O’Dowd, Rebecca J. Hirst, Annalisa Setti, Orna A. Donoghue, Rose Anne Kenny, Fiona N. Newell

“…Multisensory integration was measured once as susceptibility to the Sound-Induced Flash Illusion (SIFI) across three stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs): 70 ms, 150 ms and 230 ms. …”

Susceptibility to the sound-induced flash illusion is associated with gait speed in a large sample of middle-aged and older adults by Annalisa Setti, Belinda Hernández, Rebecca J. Hirst, Orna A. Donoghue, Rose Anne Kenny, Fiona N. Newell

“…We tested the association between a well characterised multisensory task, the Sound-Induced Flash Illusion (SIFI), and gait speed in 3255 participants from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing. …”

Multisensory integration precision is associated with better cognitive performance over time in older adults: A large-scale exploratory study by Rebecca J. Hirst, Annalisa Setti, Céline De Looze, Rose Anne Kenny, Fiona N. Newell

“…Multisensory integration was assessed at several audio-visual temporal asynchronies using the Sound Induced Flash Illusion (SIFI). More precise integration (i.e. less illusion susceptibility with larger temporal asynchronies) was cross-sectionally associated with faster Choice Response Times and Colour Trail Task performance, and fewer errors on the Sustained Attention to Response Task. …”
