Experimental setup and stimulus design. (a) Behavioral setup. Computer-generated visual and auditory stimuli were delivered through a video projector and a water-proof speaker, respectively. A clear acetate sheet delimited the experimental arena. An LED was turned on synchronously with auditory stimulus onset while a high speed camera recorded fish behavior, visual stimuli and the state of the LED for the duration of each trial. (b) The visual loom expanded from a subtended angle of 2° to 100° in 5.3 s (L/V = 0.192). When visual and auditory stimuli were combined, the auditory stimulus onset preceded the end of visual expansion by 160 ms. (c) Six intensities of visual stimuli (Michelson Index, MI) and 6 intensities of auditory stimuli (amplitude in dB, re 1 µPa) were combined into 36 different multisensory stimuli, thus creating a 2D space of multisensory intensities.
