An interesting demonstration


The woman whose name is Poppy does a mind bending demonstration of how suggestion can dictate what we hear.

Watched the video.  First thing that came to mind: with recording industry professionals like that, is it any wonder why so many recordings sound the way they do?  And the choice of music for the “examples”?  Good Lord!  He lost me early on with the claim that when we listen for the bass (or treble, or whatever…) that is the only thing that we will hear or be able to judge.  Speak for yourself, dude! 

Some of what he says about the power of suggestion can be true.  So what?  In no way does that mean that what astute and discerning listeners hear cannot be real nor repeatable.
