ADVICE

Rest Boosts Reps

  • Inject rest throughout learning to boost repetitions.
  • 10-second rests can lead to 20x faster skill acquisition.
INSIGHT

How We Hear

  • Ears (pinna) amplify high-frequency sounds and capture sound waves.
  • The cochlea, a snail-shaped structure, converts sound into electrical signals.
INSIGHT

Sound Localization

  • Sound localization is crucial for survival, using interaural time differences.
  • The brain calculates sound arrival time in each ear to determine direction.
