Abstract

Multisensory integration is the ability to appropriately merge information from several senses for the purpose of perceiving and acting in the environment. Its importance for higher level cognition and function has emerged in recent years. Walking requires to combine information from multiple senses to coordinate effective movements. In this study, we tested the association between a well characterised multisensory task, the Sound-Induced Flash Illusion (SIFI), and gait velocity in 3,255 participants from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing. The SIFI is the illusory perception of two flashes when one flash is presented with two beeps. We hypothesised that high SIFI susceptibility would be associated with slower gait velocity.
