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. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.032159420 Apr 2025 23:01 +0000at://did:plc:s47wltrtp3k4ijoofqofa5et/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnbqx5yozk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/auditorylabcmu.bsky.social/post/3lmbenoux3s22I'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.08 Apr 2025 01:55 +0000at://did:plc:s47wltrtp3k4ijoofqofa5et/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmbenoux3s22https://bsky.app/profile/auditorylabcmu.bsky.social/post/3liqenwk4fc25👁️ 👂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.
