Astonishing! It really does work. Shut your eyes and listen, you hear "baba". Look at the video, and it changes to "dada".

What I'm attempting now is to quickly open my eyes in the middle of a "baba" and catch the illusion with its pants down.

hi! im a senior psychology major at the University of the Philippines - Diliman and we will be doing a study on McGurk effect in Filipino language. As we all know, McGurk effect has been observed in different countries in the world already and me and my co-researchers for our perception course would like to see whether there is McGurk effect in our language. I would really appreciate those who would like to help us find articles which we can use for our literature review..thank you so much.

Good luck with the study, and I hope you'll drop by and let us know the results!
