The present study tested whether knowledge of a common source of conflicting visual-haptic stimulation promotes intersensory integration. 40 undergraduates manually felt the size of a square while viewing it through a lens that minified its visual size by half. Participants, however, could experience the haptic and the visual stimulation as emanating from either a common source or different sources. Their subsequent matches of the perceived size were biased by the felt size of the square, irrespective of whether they experienced the intersensory stimulation as coming from one or two sources. These results strengthen previous findings suggesting that the integration of sensory discordant information depends on bottom-up rather than on top-down processes.

The most common complication of gout is gouty arthritis (GA), characterized by swelling, pain or tenderness in peripheral joints or bursae, which can lead to the formation of tophi. At present, western medicines like colchicine, febuxostat and allopurinol are the primary treatment strategy to alleviate pain and prevent flare-ups in patients with GA, but they have significant side effects and increased mortality risks.
