CHAPTER

The Effects of Random Structure on Listening

In a paper that you wrote entitled Evoked Potential for Global Consciousness Project Data, you wrote such signal to averaging, reduces or washes out random fluctuations. The resulting pattern usually shows a large excursion proceeded and followed by smaller deviations with a typical time course relative to the stimulus. Can you explain what that means for the average listener? Yeah, most people don't know about it, but the example of the starting point is to think about what the brain does if you flash a light or make a loud sound. The brain reacts. And it can be seen in EEG traces from which we take the data that become Evoked Potential measures.
