The Science of Hearing, Balance & Accelerated Learning

This episode I describe how our ears and nervous system decode
sound waves and gravity to allow us to hear and make sense of
sounds. I also describe protocols for rapid learning of sound and
other types of information. I discuss sound localization, doppler
effects (sound motion), pitch perception and how we isolate sounds
in noisy environments. I also review the scientific findings on
binaural beats and white noise and how they can improve learning.
Other topics and protocols include tinnitus, sea sickness, ear
movement, ear growth and the science-supported ways we can all
accelerate learning using "gap effects". Read the full show notes
