Do you hear what I hear?
Hearing is a two-step process. We first capture sound waves but then our brains combine that information with data from other senses and our priors.
In this episode, we talk to Dr. Rebecca Hirst, who is a post-doc researcher at The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing - TILDA, who focuses on understanding how information from different sensory inputs is integrated and generates our perceptions.
One of her main studies focuses on the Sound Induced Flash Illusion, or SIFI, and how that affects our perceptions as we age.
