    The McGurk Effect

    This is freaking me out:

    As a linguist, I can't get past the fact that the [f] and the [b] phonemes are different, but when I watch this video, I hear the same thing if I close my eyes.

    My world has been rocked.

    That is freaky, especially when they split the screen and tell you to pay attention to each one separately. I'm trying to think of a similar real life situation though, that doesn't require dubbing over video.

      Someone actually gets paid to study this stuff? I cannot imagine a situation where this impacts my life in any way shape or form. What a complete waste of time and resources.
      There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

        Fascinating. For lawyers, who deal with so-called "percipient" witnesses all the time, this is a good reminder that what people think they saw, heard, felt, smelled or tasted may not be accurate at all.

        “There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
        ― W.H. Auden

        "God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."
        -- Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons

        "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
        --Antoine de Saint-Exupery

                I believe the young punks say, "BOOM, BITCHES!" in this situation.

                  This is akin to citing Dailykos or worldnetdaily as a reliable source in a political debate.

                      When I first saw Coach McGuirk's name I thought it was a reference to this phenomenon.
