Auditory NeuroscienceFeaturedNeurosciencePsychology·March 27, 2019·5 min readPeople ‘hear’ flashes due to disinhibited flow of signals around the brainThe synesthesia effect of being able to 'hear' silent movements may depend upon disinhibition of signaling between the visual and auditory brain regions. The study found musicians are more likely to experience the 'visual ear' phenomena than those with no musical training.Read More
