Being able to anticipate the impact of an external object on the body is crucial for generating the appropriate motor reaction. Accordingly, previous studies showed that looming visual or auditory stimuli near the body speed up responses to a tactile stimulation applied on body part targeted by the stimulus. The functional role of this facilitation implies that they should be exclusively visuo-tactile or auditory-tactile as the sensory consequences of the looming stimulus are predicted in relation to the expected impact on the body. The present study tested this assumption by comparing the facilitation effect of a looming visual stimulus on the detection of concurrent tactile, auditory, or visual stimulations. Participants were required to respond as fast as possible to a vibration on the chin, a sound or flash delivered at various moments of the trajectory of a visual ball looming towards them at eye level. Results showed that the closer the visual stimulus was, the faster stimulations were detected. This facilitation was similar for all types of stimulation whenever the visual stimulus was outside peripersonal space, i.e. further than 70 cm from the body, while it was greater for the tactile stimulation when the visual stimulus was within peripersonal space. Overall, these results indicate that a looming stimulus facilitates the detection of any event, possibly through increased alertness, with a special emphasis on tactile stimuli in peripersonal space, possibly through dedicated multisensory processes. Importantly, these results underscore the need to re-evaluate the facilitation effects induced by looming stimuli in clinical populations such as individuals with autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia, to determine whether the alterations observed in these populations reflect atypical multisensory processing within peripersonal space, as previously assumed, or instead arise from differences in attentional modulation.
