Amazing...cool...informative!
It is so very interesting that what our eye sees can completely dictate what and how our brain is informed about the sound that we think we hear. Since this forum is all about what we hear, I thought that it might be of some interest, to pique the creative into finding a real world application in using this phenomenon. It is also to me a bit strange, that even knowing and being cognizant of this illusion, that our brain allows the rule of sight to trump that of hearing. Who would of thought?

I've seen that before - it was featured on a TV science documentary a couple or so years ago. It just illustrates what I've often said - EARS, NOT EYES! |

So true. When working without a computer around (which means 100% analog), god its incredible what sound 'feels' like. I feel like I am at total one with my hearing and I remember that I actually love music and why I got into this in the first place. Except, I don't get to try 100% analog very often!.. So then there is the next question: Do things really ACTUALLY sound better when I'm not looking at a screen? Or is it simply me knowing that I'm working analog, therefore my brain overrides my opinions and tells me that what I'm hearing is better. I've debated this in my head for over 10 years now, my final answer: yes my ears and brain DO perceive good sound from bad, and yes without computers, I'm more connected to those sounds, and that analog gear sounds amazing- however, in analog I tend to make a mix that sounds and feels best, but might not translate well to internet delivery/youtube/iphone speakers. Computers win at analysis and automating every little thing like EQ points and aux sends. Computer screens are a lot of fun in their own way too though.
