Mental imagery can induce audiovisual integration, but whether it can induce interactions in other modalities remains uncertain. It has been demonstrated that audiomotor interaction can be generated following training, but whether such audiomotor interaction can be induced by auditory imagery training remains unknown. The present study aims at determining whether auditory mental imagery could induce a multimodal association with postural control. We examined static postural control in the presence of a frequency-modulated sound in three groups of participants, prior to and following a short period of training designed to create an association between auditory mental imagery of sounds and postural swaying. Results suggest that mental imagery impacted performance, as a significant decrease in postural control was observed in the experimental group following mental imagery training. Results of the control groups confirmed that the effect of mental imagery was not due to response bias, but to a significant multimodal interaction following training. These findings are in accordance with previous studies suggesting that mental imagery stimuli can interact with perceptual stimuli of a different sensory modality and lead to multisensory integration. The results also confirm that audiomotor interaction can be generated a mental imagery training. However, the full extent of mental imagery influence on multimodal interaction remains to be determined.

心理图像可以诱导视听融合，但是是否可以诱导其他形式的交互仍然不确定。已经证明在训练后可以产生听觉运动相互作用，但是这种听觉运动相互作用是否可以通过听觉图像训练诱发仍是未知的。本研究旨在确定听觉心理意象是否可以诱发姿势控制的多模式关联。我们在短期培训之前和之后的三组参与者中研究了在存在调频声音的情况下的静态姿势控制，目的是在声音的听觉心理意象与姿势摇摆之间建立关联。结果表明，心理意象影响了表现，在进行心理意象训练后，在实验组中观察到姿势控制的显着降低。对照组的结果证实，心理意象的影响不是由于反应偏见，而是由于训练后明显的多式联运。这些发现与先前的研究一致，表明精神意象刺激可以与不同感觉方式的知觉刺激相互作用，并导致多感觉整合。该结果还证实了发声运动的相互作用可以产生心理图像训练。然而，精神影像对多式联运的影响程度尚有待确定。但在训练后却产生了重要的多峰互动。这些发现与以前的研究一致，表明精神意象刺激可以与不同感觉方式的知觉刺激相互作用，并导致多感觉整合。该结果还证实了发声运动的相互作用可以产生心理图像训练。然而，精神影像对多式联运的影响程度尚有待确定。但在训练后却产生了重要的多峰互动。这些发现与先前的研究一致，表明精神意象刺激可以与不同感觉方式的知觉刺激相互作用，并导致多感觉整合。该结果还证实了发声运动的相互作用可以产生心理图像训练。然而，精神影像对多式联运的影响程度尚有待确定。
