In phonetics, the McGurk effect was discovered by the psychologists McGurk and MacDonald by accident when they dubbed an audio syllable "ba" onto a visual "ga". When the tape was played, "da" was perceived. They realised that "da" resulted from an audio-visual illusion that has become known as the McGurk effect or McGurk illusion.
