Re: Why it has to be played loud

[Martin Braun <nombraun@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Kevin and others,

"Perception, you see, is a cultural phenomenon, and is based upon learning
and memory."

No, I do not see. Perception is what the nerves do. The same applies to 
learning and memory. The memory chip in an i-pod is equally happy with noise 
and music. A system of neurons is not. It is a myth that noise and music is 
equally interesting for a brain. Look at a brain's works and you will see 
why.

Martin
