Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Hmmm...

How to explain... Hmmm.

Ok, the amount of information available at the loudness memory stage is a swimming pool full.

The feature extraction pulls some semi-conciously, semi-unconciously selected bits out of the swimming pool, analyzes it, and gives you a quart jar full of information.

The auditory object phase analyzes the quart of water, and comes up with a few drops of water that describes what you heard.

Now, the point is that at both steps, both concious (listen to the oboe) and unconcious (wtf was that click, or purely random choice) processes guide where you look in the swimming pool, and what parts of the quart you pay attention to.

As to how you guide, I'm reporting the phenominon as observed. I can't tell you how you do it, and I don't think anybody else can at this point.

As to the question about probability, if you're guided by somebody's perceptions to listen for a particular thing, you'r elikely to hear it.

No matter your intent. Humans are frighteningly good at incorporating all information into what seems like any sensory modality.
