For example, at dusk, audition and vision provide signals of complementary strength, whereas visual shape and texture cues are both degraded. Moreover, cues from different modalities about singular objects or events often predict each other; they typically cross-correlate where one sense lags the other (Parise et al., 2012), whereas within-modality cues have a similar timing. In other words, interpreting multisensory and within-sensory cue pairings can be considered as different means of reducing uncertainty about an event within the wider class of integrative processes.
