What are the mechanisms by which visual stimuli can change sound pleasantness? Words, abstract paintings, and/or custom Foley movies reduced sound unpleasantness by reassigning the perceived sound source or by cross-modal agreement. Larger effect for misophonic participants.

I'm grateful to Jérôme Sueur and Christian Lorenzi for inspiring the new field of #HumanAuditoryEcology at the intersection of #Ecoacoustics and Human #AuditoryPerception. I enjoyed giving a talk on Causal Perception of Environmental Sounds at their HAE workshop in Paris last week.

<em>Psychophysiology</em> | SPR Journal | Wiley Online Library This is the first study comparing pupil diameter increases to sounds that evoke disgust versus other positive and negative emotions. While all participants showed increased dilation with emotional in....

👁️ 👂Eyes offer a window into our feelings about sounds. "The impact of disgusting sounds on pupil diameter of misophonic and non-misophonic listeners" shows that misophonics have greater physiological reactions to sounds they find disgusting. Funded by MRF.

If you conduct auditory/acoustic research on the ability to use sound to represent, understand, manipulate, or navigate the surrounding environment, emphasizing ecologically relevant natural sounds and tasks, please send it to Ecological Perspectives on Hearing, which I'm co-guest editing.
