But what's most interesting about Poppy Crum's demonstration is this: You KNOW that what you're listening to on both occasions is exactly the same sound. So you should EXPECT to hear no difference. But the addition of the visual steering forces you to hear something different. This seems to show that non-auditory clues can influence you in a way over which you have no conscious control, even when you're in possession of facts that should allow you to ignore the steering. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92918 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
