After a bit of digging, I discovered a few interesting things:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">#TheDress and Yanny vs. Laurel are both instances of what is called an ambiguity illusion.

Scientists say that once your brain has processed an image or a sound as having a certain meaning, it’s hard to experience it another way. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The same goes for the Yanny / Laurel clip. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An audio engineer by the name of Dylan Bennett suspects he knows exactly how this ambiguous illusion works: people who hear Yanny are more receptive to higher frequencies, while Laurel people are more in tune with lower frequencies. Bennett put his theory to the test by taking out the high frequencies to leave only Laurel, and vice versa\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Listen up to hear what the other side is experiencing!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/mboffin/status/996562598815416321?lang=en\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another interesting sound experiment comes courtesy of \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nina Kraus\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, an auditory biology researcher at Northwestern University. She explained this Yanny / Laurel phenomenon to \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.popsci.com/yanny-laurel-scientific-evidence\">Popular Science\u003c/a>\u003c/em> by saying, “The way you hear sound is influenced by your life in sound. What you expect to \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">hear\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is, to a large extent, what your brain will hear—and what your brain hears is all that matters.” She offered two clips as evidence. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, give a listen to the noisy version. Then, listen to the clean version of the same file. Then, return to the original to listen for any changes in your perception.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://soundcloud.com/user-468162488/noisy-version\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://soundcloud.com/user-468162488/clean-version\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because of the new expectation to hear about the juice of lemons, our brains are able to make sense of the hidden distorted language! Being alive and having senses is so fun and trippy!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okay, this next bit of science is going to excite half of the population and really bum out the other. A human’s ability to hear higher frequencies fades with age, which is why children hear Yanny. So, guess what, my fellow Yanny-hearers: we are very youthful! Sorry, Laurel fans. Being on the wrong side of history was bad enough, and now you’re super old on top of that? Bummer!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just kidding; I still love y’all. Here’s a piece of information that might make Team Laurel feel vindicated. The origin story of this sound clip is that some 18-year old Reddit user from Georgia recorded the vocabulary.com pronunciation of \"laurel\" through his speakers, which heavily distorted the sound. So technically it did start as Laurel! Because of the distortion, our brains try to make sense of the audio by picking out the frequency range we’re used to. Also, your speakers or headphones might prefer -- and thus deliver -- a certain frequency. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, in a nutshell, we are all going to disagree about this, and #TheDress, and politics, and cilantro until the end of time. But hopefully we can all agree that Yanni, the person, deserves more of our attention.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfwTOFooP5I\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This piece was inspired by an episode of \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cooler/id1041117499?mt=2\">The Cooler\u003c/a>, KQED’s weekly pop culture podcast.

Scientists say that once your brain has processed an image or a sound as having a certain meaning, it’s hard to experience it another way. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The same goes for the Yanny / Laurel clip. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An audio engineer by the name of Dylan Bennett suspects he knows exactly how this ambiguous illusion works: people who hear Yanny are more receptive to higher frequencies, while Laurel people are more in tune with lower frequencies. Bennett put his theory to the test by taking out the high frequencies to leave only Laurel, and vice versa\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

She explained this Yanny / Laurel phenomenon to \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.popsci.com/yanny-laurel-scientific-evidence\">Popular Science\u003c/a>\u003c/em> by saying, “The way you hear sound is influenced by your life in sound. What you expect to \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">hear\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is, to a large extent, what your brain will hear—and what your brain hears is all that matters.” She offered two clips as evidence. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, give a listen to the noisy version. Then, listen to the clean version of the same file. Then, return to the original to listen for any changes in your perception.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://soundcloud.com/user-468162488/noisy-version\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://soundcloud.com/user-468162488/clean-version\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because of the new expectation to hear about the juice of lemons, our brains are able to make sense of the hidden distorted language! Being alive and having senses is so fun and trippy!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okay, this next bit of science is going to excite half of the population and really bum out the other. A human’s ability to hear higher frequencies fades with age, which is why children hear Yanny. So, guess what, my fellow Yanny-hearers: we are very youthful! Sorry, Laurel fans. Being on the wrong side of history was bad enough, and now you’re super old on top of that? Bummer!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just kidding; I still love y’all. Here’s a piece of information that might make Team Laurel feel vindicated. The origin story of this sound clip is that some 18-year old Reddit user from Georgia recorded the vocabulary.com pronunciation of \"laurel\" through his speakers, which heavily distorted the sound. So technically it did start as Laurel! Because of the distortion, our brains try to make sense of the audio by picking out the frequency range we’re used to. Also, your speakers or headphones might prefer -- and thus deliver -- a certain frequency. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, in a nutshell, we are all going to disagree about this, and #TheDress, and politics, and cilantro until the end of time. But hopefully we can all agree that Yanni, the person, deserves more of our attention.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/YfwTOFooP5I'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/YfwTOFooP5I'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cem>This piece was inspired by an episode of \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cooler/id1041117499?mt=2\">The Cooler\u003c/a>, KQED’s weekly pop culture podcast.
