Caption

A virtual sound source approached or receded in front, rear, left, or right body relative direction. The participants were asked to quickly and accurately detect the tactile sensation of a vibrator attached to their chest, regardless of the sound. When the sound source was approaching in any directions and was closer to the body, the vibration was detected faster.
