Comments on: Aural illusion http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/06/20/aural-illusion/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Blind friends have told me that I'm more audio oriented than most sighted people. So I think the difference is how audio oriented the person is.

En este ejemplo, al ver al protagonista mover los labios como /ga/ pero oir /ba/ el cerebro lo convierte en /da/, demostrándose así que las cosas no siempre son lo que parecen y que en nuestro cerebro suceden cosas realmente extrañas respecto a la percecpción del MundoReal™, en un ejemplo tan ilustrativo como este.

I've heard 3D sound demos before but that was just too scary, especially when they put the bag over your head. @Yojimbo & Traveller:
