What illusions tell us about silence

Ian Phillips, Rui Zhe Goh, and Chaz Firestone explore how people perceive silence through auditory illusions, challenging traditional views on hearing. The podcast discusses the 'one silence is more' illusion, the illusion of silence impacting time perception, and the concept of event-based warping. It also covers the silence-based warping illusion and oddball silence illusion, and how the perception of silence is influenced by context.
