Auditory and Musical Illusions

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13355-music-special-five-great-auditory-illusions-.html

Follow the directions to each illusion EXACTLY the way they tell you ( or else it will not work). It is pretty amazing and at times I have to warn you, is very creepy. Enjoy and tell me what you think.

Interesting field of cognitive listening and how the brain works. I think by learning this type of things it makes us better musicians or teacher if we learn how human beings react to auditory perceptions.

ENJOY!

a good resource for music cognition--and a great read for psychology and music etc. is "This is your brain on music" by Daniel J. Levitin proffessor at McGill U.
