Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

This collection seeks to advance our understanding of how sound is perceived and processed by biological systems, with a particular focus on the cognitive and psychological mechanisms underpinning ...

Prof Emi Hasuo studies how the brain perceives and processes sound rhythm. Surprisingly, the physical rhythm and perceived rhythm are sometimes different. Moreover, sounds of the same rhythm are ...

Imagine a sound, a tone. Engineering and math might go into creating a musical instrument that can make that tone, but that same sound also depends on acoustics, perception, creativity — a multitude ...

People with severe vision loss can less accurately judge the distance of nearby sounds, potentially putting them more at risk of injury. People with severe vision loss can less accurately judge the ...
