Hidden Hearing Respond to Research Which Reveals Brainwaves Can Influence Hearing Abilities
(PRWEB UK) 11 July 2013 -- German researchers have discovered that hearing depends on the exact timing of the brain’s rhythms. This means that brains, sound and behaviour are connected and coupled and that brain activity influences the way we listen reports Hear It on July 4.
Researchers Molly Henry and Jonas Obleser from the Max Planck Institute in Germany found that the rhythms in the environment, rhythms in the brain and behaviour are all linked together and influence one another.
The researchers behind the study are hoping to be able to use the brain’s coupling to its acoustic environment as a new measure to study the problems of listeners with hearing loss or people who stutter.
A spokesperson from Hidden Hearing said:
“Understanding how the brain processes sounds is incredibly important in understanding how this affects hearing and what environments will help and hinder hearing. Knowing how hearing works allows for a greater understanding of how the ear works and how hearing loss can be treated the most effectively.”
