Hearing the name of an object appears to influence whether or not we see it, suggesting that hearing and vision might be even more intertwined than previously thought. Studies suggest that words and images are 32 coupled. What is not clear, says Gary Lupyan of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, is whether language and 33 work together to help you 34 what you're seeing, or whether words can actually change what you see. Lupyan and Emily Ward of Yale University used a technique called continuous flash suppression (CFS) on 20 volunteers to test whether a spoken prompt could make them detect an image that they were not 35 aware they were seeing. CFS works by 36 different images to the right and left eyes: one eye might be shown a simple shape or an animal, 37 the other is shown visual 'noise'. The noise monopolizes (垄断) the brain, leaving so little processing power for the other image, making it 38 . In a similar experiment, the team found that volunteers were more likely to detect specific 39 if asked about them. For example, asking 'Do you see a square?' made it more likely than that they would see a hidden 40 but not a hidden circle. James McClelland of Stanford University in California, who was not 41 in the work, thinks it is an important study. It suggests that sight and language are intertwined, he says.
