The chromatic visual field of 14 subjects was measured while they heard a sound of 1000 Hz at 95 db during 3 min. Stimuli were produced by a monochromator. Visual threshold was lower under the influence of sound for red (Λ = 550 nm) and green (Λ = 610 nm) stimuli at 40°, 45°, and 50° of temporal eccentricity.
