Re: Speech intelligibility and spatial information

[Tom Brennan <g_brennantg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is, of course, replicated research which shows that people will hear what
they've seen a person say even though they heard the message at the same time.
When the messages differ, it seems possible to somehow over rule the auditory
signal to some extent.  However, if this was a major player in auditory
processing the blind would certainly be in serious auditory trouble.
