    As Dr Susan Rogers says, auditory science and brain science attract similar kinds of thinkers — those who are ok with imagining the mechanism and process. One of the most fascinating areas of neuroscience is the emerging theoretical framework known as ‘predictive processing’ which describes the brain as essentially a prediction machine which is a combination of ideas from psychology or neuroscience, machine learning and information theory. Fundamentally, every technology we develop in the audio industry is an interface with the brain. In recent years, advances in understanding how the brain works give us opportunities to discover novel approaches to […]
