Scientists studying brain process involved in sight have found the visual cortex also uses information gleaned from the ears as well as the eyes when viewing the world. (1)
Everything interconnects with everything.
Our body is a monad.
Our mind is a monad.
There is nothing else.
Every attempt to analyze and break them into pieces will only result in failure.
Be as a whole.
It is the only way…
Ηave you ever wondered why most natural languages invariably use the same spatial attributes — high versus low — to describe auditory pitch? Or why, throughout the history of musical notation, high notes have been represented high on the staff? According to a team of neuroscientists from Bielefeld University and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, high pitched sounds feel ‘high’ because, in our daily lives, sounds coming from high elevations are indeed more likely to be higher in pitch.

What we think is based on what we feel. But wait a minute! I just posted a post claiming that what we feel is based on what we think! (see Harmonia Philosophica @ Blogger: “Violins, senses, prejudice“… at 18/5/2014)
At the end, everything is interconnected.
In fact, so much interconnected that you do not see the difference.
So much interrelated that you finally end up with… One!
Or… nothing!
Or… everything.
Or… whatever!
You get the point! 🙂
“I told my daughter her living room TV was out of sync. Then I noticed the kitchen telly was also dubbed badly. Suddenly I noticed that her voice was out of sync too. It wasn’t the TV, it was me.”
PH is the first confirmed case of someone who hears people speak before registering the movement of their lips. His situation is giving unique insights into how our brains unify what we hear and see. [1]
It may seem weird for us to think of someone living into a bad chinese movie with English dubbing, but everything is in the mind after all!
Light travels much faster than sound, so we shouldn’t “see” the lips of other people moving at exactly the same time the sound of their voice comes to our ears. However out brain sucessfully processes these two (optical and sound) information in such a way that we see these two phenomena synchronized.
Reality. Senses. Subjectivity.
Seeing it. Hearing it. Living it every day.
Not necessarily in this order… 😉
