Audio Illusions: Just Your Ears Playing Tricks On You

What you hear is not always the truth. This is why you can't fully trust your ears because they can sometimes play tricks on you. These are called audio illusions. An episode of the AsapSCIENCE YouTube channel demonstrated three of the most common of these audio illusions - the McGurk Effect, the Tritone Paradox, and the Shepard Tone Illusion.

McGurk Effect - This is named after Harry McGurk who along with John MacDonald wrote a paper in 1976  titled Hearing Lips and Seeing Voices which first described the illusion. It's a perceptual phenomenon caused by the interaction between what you hear and what you see. Basically, the sound being made is similar but what you hear differs when the visual presentation of the source of the sound is altered. Here's a more in-depth demonstration of the McGurk Effect:

Tritone Paradox - First reported in 1986 by Diana Deutsch (a perceptual and cognitive psychologist), this auditory illusion is produced when a pair of Shepard tones separated by an interval of a tritone are sequentially played. People may hear the scales as either ascending or descending.

Shepard Tone Illusion - Also often described as a "sonic barber's pole", this auditory illusion is created by the superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. The tone continually descends or ascends in pitch but ultimately seems to get no lower or higher.

GoPro-Wearing Cyclist Gets Robbed At Gunpoint. Luckily The Robbers Didn't Know What A GoPro Is.

Notice to robbers who prey on cyclists: Before you rob one, make sure you know what a GoPro is and what it does. Malcolm Fox, with a GoPro camera strapped to his safety helmet, was cycling through a wooded area in Somerset West, South Africa when a man waving a handgun came out of nowhere and ordered him off his bike.

The first man was then joined by two other men. They took Fox's cellphone, car keys, Oakley sunglasses, and bike. They then let go of Fox and told him to go through the opposite direction. And then they escaped.

Luckily for Fox, the robbers didn't seem to know what a GoPro is. One of the robbers appeared to stare at the camera for a moment but then didn't think much about it. They let Fox go without taking the contraption attached to his helmet.

The footage of the robbery was given to the police which led to the arrest of the three suspects. The items they stole were recovered and given back to Fox.

A GoPro is a wearable video camera which is popular among outdoor enthusiasts like cyclists and mountain climbers. It's an effective device for recording action without you having to hold the camera in your hands.
