'humans can see sound, hear light'
20 aug 2008, 0000 hrs ist,agencies

conventional neuroscience has it that the auditory system's function is to record sound, while the visual system focuses, on the visuals, and never does the twain meet. instead, a "higher cognitive" producer, like the brain's superior colliculus, uses these separate inputs to create our cinematic experiences.

the textbook rewrite: the brain can, if it must, directly use sound to see and light to hear. the study was published last week in the journal bmc neuroscience.

researchers trained monkeys to locate a light flashed on a screen. when the light was very bright, they easily found it; when it was dim, it took a long time. but if a dim light made a brief sound, the monkeys found it in no time - too quickly, in fact, than can be explained by the old theories.

when i first read the title to this post i was thinking how how sometimes we see things, we may imagine how it sounds and when we hear things, we may imagine what it looks like. another thought is the idea of using sound as a form of eco-location and kind of shape an image out of something you can't sense with the other senses. this could be how binaural beats and astral projection works, but that's just my theory lol if my theory is right, you would probably see things without color though. maybe light can be converted into sound and then be converted back into light in our heads. thre goes another of my theories. lol
