The McGurk effect plays with how we perceive sound and the way it interacts with our brains.
It highlights to us the idea that how we pick up sound is more than a single modal experience.
The effect is applied when you see the mouthings of one word but you hear another similar sounding one. The result is a new word based upon both the sound and the image of the two similar words being spoken.
Later research into the subject has proved that the effect is applicable to whole sentences as well.
It lends it's name from Harry McGurk whom put it on paper in 1976.

Watch the video through a couple of times.
