"Can you trust the ear?"


After hearing that the man in the image below says "Bar Bar Bar" ...


I will ask you that the same man says "Far Far Far".


Then, it sounds like the man is speaking a word that is neither "Bar" nor "Far". this is,McGurk effectThis is a phenomenon called auditory perception that visual information interacts with each other to influence audible voice and sound.


In order to investigate which audible sound is changing from "low to high" or "high to low", if the same sound is heard to the multiplayer, the answers of all may not agree.


this is,Three Midnight ParadoxWhat is caused by the phenomenon. Two notes whose pitch name is decided but the pitch is not decided, for example, when you listen to "l" and "so" who do not know the height of the sound consecutively, some people say "low to high" The three major note paradox is that people hear the sound progressing from "high to low".


In a phenomenon that is somewhat similar to the three major note paradoxInfinite scaleThere is something called.


For example, when you listen to infinite scales twice for "Doremifah solasi", you hear as if the sounds are getting higher, although the first heard "do" and the second hear "do" are the same height It is like that.


If you use infinite scales, you can create an auditory illusion that the sound continues to increase infinitely with just a few notes.


Thus, hearing and perception have various illusionary phenomena arising from interaction. Perhaps it sounds that the sound he is listening to is heard differently by someone else's on a daily basis.
