Rest Boosts Reps
- Inject rest throughout learning to boost repetitions.
- 10-second rests can lead to 20x faster skill acquisition.
How We Hear
- Ears (pinna) amplify high-frequency sounds and capture sound waves.
- The cochlea, a snail-shaped structure, converts sound into electrical signals.
Sound Localization
- Sound localization is crucial for survival, using interaural time differences.
- The brain calculates sound arrival time in each ear to determine direction.
