That's pretty neat. Close your eyes and the sound changes. Weird how our brains work.

I'm confused

he starts out saying baah baah baah. does he later change to phaah phaah phaah?

both sounds sound really similar to me even when I close my eyes.

You really think that is a feature rather than a bug?

Cool! I'll have to save this clip at school tomorrow. (Just marking this thread for that purpose.)

lol.

I love shit like this. Gives us perspective on how our brains really function and not how society teaches us to assume how they do.

Er...this goes to show that our brains are even more amazing than we thought. It's capable of determining a reasonable result based on what's presented.

Guess it depends how you look at it. I kind of agree with ADD.

But why would we need that kind of error correcting? It still sounds like a bug to me.

If you think about how we're able to have a conversation in a really noisy room with hundreds of other people chattering, it's quite amazing. McGurk effect shows just how adapted our brains are to being able to comprehend speech.

I demand the following to show me how my brain is awesome:

1. pictures that look like they're moving when they're not
2. pictures that make me see different colors than what are being displayed
3. lsd

Wow, haven't seen that one before. Had to go into photoshop to believe they were actually the same.

I love shit designed to fuck with our brains. Optical illusions ^ etc... Or how you can't distinguish a lot of tastes without smelling. Fun stuff.

Half my job is taking advantage of this.
