Tue, 11 May 2021 18:32 UTC To make sense of complex environments, brain waves constantly adapt, compensating for drastically different sound and vision processing speeds © Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital MEG signals revealed that recalibration was enabled by a unique interaction between fast and slow brain waves in auditory and visual brain regions.Every high-school physics student learns that sound and light travel at very different speeds. If the brain did not account for this difference, it would be much harder for us to tell where sounds came from, and how they are related to what we see. Instead, the brain allows us to make better sense of our world by playing tricks, so that a visual and a sound created at the same time are perceived as synchronous, even though they reach the brain and are processed by neural circuits at different speeds.
