Hearing a sound as two sounds: Brainstorm/Green needle
    #28377042 - 06/27/23 08:10 PM (6 months, 28 days ago)



This one really blows my mind. It is one sound that your brain tricks you into thinking is two entirely different sounds, depending on priming.

At times you can focus and get one. Sometimes it switches between the two quickly. At other times I only hear one. Sometimes which I'm focusing on doesn't matter for what I end up hearing.

Neither really sounds like the other. The brain filters out the sounds that aren't relevant to the chosen interpretation.

A good example of neural filtering, and how reality is sifted to create what we see. But I wonder why it's so finnicky - why is it that one can switch it so easily to hear one of two, rather than to just hear the one consistently, if it's the same sound?

You can also hear brain needle or green storm.

Brain/green are pretty close but hearing either needle or storm is pretty wild.

I heard "brain needle," which was probably only because I've had a lobotomy... which is probably the most underrated surgery ever.

you got a lobotomy? is that why you had a shroomery hiatus?

Try closing alternate eyes to influence alternate hemispheres.

Finishing that dissertation did have lobotomizing effects, but I can personally recommend a wonderful back-alley guy who uses fentanyl for a pain killer and a needle that he assured me he washed very well!

Or plugging alternate ears if you prefer to hear through those.

I could hear both, then after I posted this I had a listen where I only heard 'brainstorm'. I was disappointed as I thought it didn't work anymore. Tried to will myself to hear 'green needle' but to no avail.

Then I tried again a few hours later and heard 'green needle' a few times. It's finnicky, like an old car.
