General layout of the paradigm. a Example of a short excerpt from a possible trial sequence. Visual, auditory, multisensory, or no-stim trials were presented with random ITIs of 500–800 ms. The presentation order of the various stimulus types was fully randomized. b Decomposition of the relative timing of the auditory and visual stimuli within each of the subtypes of audiovisual stimuli, when viewed as time-locked to either the visual input (left) or the auditory input (right). Notice that there were actually five different multisensory stimuli. For instance, V_{|A(−100 ms)} trials were the same as the A_|V(+100 ms) trials), but viewed as time-locked to either the visual input (left panel) or the auditory input (right panel)
