Why Some People See Sound
Brain anatomy may be key to explaining why some people see sound in a flash illusion.
Some people may actually see sounds, say researchers who found this odd
ability is possible when the parts of the brain devoted to vision are
small.
These findings points to a clever strategy the brain might use when vision is unreliable, investigators added.
Scientists took a closer look at the sound-induced flash illusion. When
a single flash is followed by two bleeps, people sometimes also see two
illusory consecutive flashes.
