Subject: Re: Why it has to be played loud From: Martin Braun <nombraun@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 19:58:19 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>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.
