To make sense of complex environments, brain waves constantly adapt, compensating for drastically different sound and vision processing speeds
听
Every high-school physics student learns that sound and light travel at very different speeds. If the brain did not account for this difference, it would be much harder for us to tell where sounds came from, and how they are related to what we see.
