In this MRCPsych Part A revision episode we explore perception in psychiatry as an active process. 

Topics include sound localisation, auditory grouping, bottom-up processing and top-down processing. These mechanisms help the brain separate and interpret sounds in complex environments.

Understanding auditory perception is important for psychiatry trainees preparing for the MRCPsych exams, particularly when considering theories of auditory hallucinations in psychiatric disorders. 

This episode maps directly to paragraph 1.1.2 of the Royal College of Psychiatrists membership examination, MRCPsych Part A, syllabus.
