Check out this silent video above. Are you hearing a thumping noise in your head from the bouncing structure hitting the ground? If you are, this is due to a form of synesthesia; a systematic and involuntary sensory experience induced by an unrelated stimuli. Since we are expecting to hear a sound from a large structure hitting the ground, our brain is creating the feeling of hearing a sound that is not actually there. After watching a few times over, you can feel the pressure in your head and even experience your ears ringing!
This post is really interesting! I've never head of synesthesia but I heard the thumping noise in my head before I even read the text. It's fascinating how your brain can can connect visual perception to auditory perception and create an imaginary sound in your head as if the sound was actually being heard. I would love to learn more about this topic!
ReplyDeleteI can hear it and feel it in my chest! This is a fascinating GIF.
ReplyDeleteThis is really freaky! I swear it feels like my computer monitor is actually vibrating! And the longer I watch, the louder it seems to get.
ReplyDeleteThis is really fascinating! I could feel pressure and vibrating in my head as if I was standing right there! Sort of like the thumping of a bass drum. Neat!
