Hearing and Perceptions Homework: Seeing with Your Ears
1. Summarize the experiment or effect.
Two people, a male and a female, were given two different pairs of headphones, they were told to put the headphones on while they watched the same animation. The animation was about two ping pong balls making an “x” shape while intercepting in the middle. The person who wore the black headphones, which did not have any sound, believed that the intersecting ping pong balls were crossing paths. The person wearing the white headphones believed that the ping pong balls were bouncing off each other while intersecting.

Music Education and New York Times Essay

be around. Every day to me felt the same as the one I just had before, so I ended up thinking that there was no point in having fun or taking risks if it would just be over in what felt to me like a matter of minutes. Every day I would get home, do my homework, watch some TV, eat, maybe write freely a bit, and go to bed ready for the next day of school.
