Perception shifts when the McGurk Effect causes senses to collide unexpectedly. Confusion begins before the brain fully processes sound and sight together. Lip movements pull the brain’s interpretation away from the actual spoken words. Neural activity surges in the Superior Temporal Sulcus as senses collide and merge. The brain’s fusion of sound and sight tightens, forming a new but misleading speech perception. This sensory pressure pushes perceptual limits, causing lasting shifts in how speech is understood.
