The McGurk effect "is a perceptual phenomenon that demonstrates an interaction between hearing and vision in speech perception. The illusion occurs when the auditory component of one sound is paired with the visual component of another sound, leading to the perception of a third sound.[1] The visual information a person gets from seeing a person speak changes the way they hear the sound." according to Wikipedia. And the video is a perfect example of how our brain can trick our hearing and create auditory illusion through the McGurk Effect.
In the video, the man is at first saying "bar, bar, bar" constantly. And in the next clip, he seems saying "far, far, far" but indeed it is the same audio clip but the video clip is changed. By looking at the man's lips, I couldn't hear anything sounding like "bar" but "far" even though I know he is actually saying "bar". By closing my eyes, I hear "bar" again. It's quite bizarre that even I know my hearing is being tricked but I couldn't do anything about it. And how our vision could also affect on things we hear make me prefer "hearing is believing" than "seeing is believing"
