Impact of ambient sound on risk perception in humans: neuroeconomic investigations

Abstract Research in the field of multisensory perception shows that what we hear can influence what we see in a wide range of perceptual tasks. It is however unknown whether this extends to the visual perception of risk, despite the importance of the question in many applied domains where properly...
