How We're Wired

How We Hear


Listen Later

How do we hear? What parts of our brain respond to sound? And how can we use vibrations to expand the way we enjoy music?  

In this episode of How We’re Wired, join evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin on a sensory journey exploring the world of sound, and how we hear it. We’ll meet a dancer who remembers being able to hear clearly for the very first time, learn how our brains break down complex sound in a noisy environment, and experience a device which expands the pleasure we get from music.   

With special thanks to David Corey, Daniel Huber, Mario Prsa, and Vita.
