Hi everyone,

Thanks much for the fascinating and helpful discussion and links on this, here and in the Slack forum. Daniel Pressnitzer, Paul Egré, and I at the ENS in Paris have created a quick 5-minute online experiment about this phenomenon, and we're trying to get as many responses as possible. We'd be very grateful to anyone who could help us out by participating and/or spreading the link around:

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Anyone interested in discussing this in more depth? This topic is receiving a lot of media coverage and is still considered "breaking news".

I created a Slack forum. Anyone interested can join the discussion using the following link:

Dear List,

Many thanks to those who responded to my query about consonance and dissonance ratings.

On a different topic, the note below is from a colleague in my department (Ari Goldberg, a psycholinguist). I thought it might interest you. Feel free to enter what word you hear on the Google spreadsheet he provides. Any thoughts on what’s going on here are most welcome.

Hi Everyone,

There’s a new thing going around the internet that’s sort of like the blue/white/gold dress from a few year’s back except it’s auditory.

If you have a moment, could you click on this link and think about what you hear?

https://twitter.com/CloeCouture/status/996218489831473152?s=20

Then please go to the link below and write down what you heard.

I have no idea why people might hear different things for this word but it could be helpful to know what you all hear.

Btw, here’s an article about it if you’re interested (though I’m afraid it doesn’t really explain it):
