What is the name of that audiovisual illusion?

I recall seeing a visual illusion in which two dots that pass through one another appear to "bounce" if a sound is played at the moment the dots make contact. Does anyone out there remember the name of the effect or the researcher who found it? It is relevant to research we are doing, but I am not finding it in the literature. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

It's just called "motion-bounce." Sekuler is the name behind it, I think.

Thanks!

I was curious, so I googled. Here's a demo. It's pretty cool:
