Selective Hearing and the Brain

Selective Hearing and the Brain
David Amerland investigates figure-ground hearing and the potential to augment our selective hearing.

The brain can, apparently be primed to listen for specific sounds in a noisy environment, successfully filtering them out of the confusing backdrop. That means that it can be trained. A trained brain has better representational models of the world based upon experience and a better understanding of its underlying mechanics that allow it to function at a higher level of performance.

  1. David Amerland I can think of two other instances when hearing is targeted for the cue.
    When a mother hears her baby in another room in a room full of conversation.
    When a sleeping sailor, even at anchor or moored, hears something out of the noise of water, rigging lines slapping, and masts pinging that awakens the sailor to a change that may endanger the vessel.

    One can say what one wants to say but they hear what they want to hear and nothing else!

    Spoken language is a series of noises made by us humans - meaning to those noises is inserted by the mind of the listener!
