Interesting, but kinda hard to believe that the sounds we hear in the forest could be coming from that high up
I'm no expert, but if that's true, that's pretty mind-blowing
One thing that I found super interesting when I studied audio engineering is that our ears are very good at determining direction left/right, but absolutely hopeless at working out if a sound is up or down.
This makes their hypothesis a lot more believable to me; I can understand others incredulity.
The article explains that this objection was raised by other researchers, but that the sounds were triangulated to a height of about 250 feet (because they are caused by an electrical interaction at the top of an inversion rather than from the aurorae directly).
No, that is muscle memory. If I play the piano with my eyes closed, I'm not visualising the piano, I'm focusing on the feel and positions of my fingers
This is my experience as well. I would also say that when improvising I’m not really thinking consciously about the movements, but rather the notes I want to hear.
Was really interested in taking VVIQ. My results: "You have a fairly vivid visual imagination known as phantasia. This indicates an average ability to visualize mental images. When you try to picture something in your mind, you can "see it" with a reasonable level of clarity and detail."
I think so. If you strongly associate the taste and smell of coffee with its stimulating effects, your body might react similarly to decaf coffee due to conditioned responses, even if the caffeine content is much lower
