Relaxing music can help enhance enjoyment while dining, a new study reports. However, normal background noise in restaurants can have a negative impact on the dining experience.
Researchers noted alterations in brain activity during cognitive tasks when playing outdoor sounds in the background. Findings shed light on how the environment affects how we perceive the world around us and how we tune out to background noises.
A new study reports as auditory neurons become more familiar with a sound environment, they speed up their adaption to the noisiness of that environment.
According to a new study, the presence of background noise may make it more difficult for young children to learn new words.
