Unexplainable is a new podcast from vox metia. This week, we look at how our brains shape what we hear and see. We'll also talk about more perplexing sense mysteries such as smell and taste. Next up: touch and its evil twin pain.
In the same way optical illusions trick our eyes, audio illusions can trick our ears. This raises a fundamental question: What is hearing, and how much of it is made up by our brains?
This is the first episode of our new six-part series, Making Sense.
