This was a presentation I gave at Chiao Tung University on one of research interests. Here is an excerpt:
“Sound is one of our most sophisticated senses, from the time we are babies our entire world is filled with sounds designed to stimulate our behavior. We grow to expect pleasure or annoyance as were are introduced to surprising new sounds as well as established ones.
Sound has a variety of forms – voice, music, effects, nature, or other communication forms – and these can be incredible rich, complex, and subtle.
It is the primary means in which we by which most of us receive data, information, and knowledge.”
