Document Summary
Mcgurk effect: da in perceivers, ba in non-perceivers: this region was highly active in people who perceived the illusion (da, positive correlation for these variables when tested, audio part of brain lights up when people lip-read. Eventually shift away from looking at mouth as they age. Don"t need to rely on lip-reading as much as language develops. Visual language discrimination in infants; they can tell languages apart just by mouth movements. Music and the brain: musicians have increased grey matter in motor and auditory cortex, they show different brain responses to music, they show different brain response when listening to speech, correlation doesn"t imply causation. Perhaps unique brain causes music experience: congenital amusia. A deficit in melody perception and production not due to hearing loss, intelligence disabilities, or lack of music exposure. Inability to recognize pitch violations / chord changes. Studies show that the shorter you sleep, the shorter you live.
