Julia perio is a psychology researcher at the university of sheffield. She says we don't really understand sound's effects on our psychology very well. A s m r might feel great for some people, but not everyone has it. People generally fall into one of two categories: They either think that a s m ar is something that everybody has, or they think that they're the only person that's had it.
Some sounds bring happy memories flooding back. Other sounds put us on edge; drive us to distraction; or cause us considerable distress. Sound matters... so why don't we pay more attention to our sonic environment?
In a mash-up with our friends at the podcast Twenty Thousand Hertz, Dr. Laurie Santos joins Dallas Taylor to create a Handbook for Sonic Happiness explaining how sound can harm our wellbeing or be a route to greater happiness.
Featuring auditory psychologist David Poeppel, psychology researcher Giulia Poerio, clinical psychologist Ali Mattu, sound scholar Mac Hagood and acoustician Trevor Cox.
