Description
Sound is what we are.
Learn everything about the connection between the brain and the sound world in this new release, winner of many awards!
Our hearing brain is vast—it’s more than just a device for processing sound. Nena Kraus explains how it shapes our emotions, thoughts, and movements. Auditory neurons process information in a thousandth of a second, and hearing is the fastest of all senses. Kraus describes the healing power of music and the destructive power of noise. She tracks what happens in the brain when we speak a foreign language, suffer from speech disorders, perceive rhythm, listen to birdsong, or experience a concussion. Kraus shows that interacting with sound leaves an indelible mark on who we are. Sounds around us influence our brain and—whether for worse or for good—help us build the sound world we live in.
