In Of Sound Mind, Nina Kraus examines the partnership of sound and brain, showing for the first time that the processing of sound drives many of the brain's core functions. Our hearing is always on--we can't close our ears the way we close our eyes--and yet we can ignore sounds that are unimportant. We don't just hear; we engage with sounds. Kraus explores what goes on in our brains when we hear a word--or a chord, or a meow, or a screech. Our hearing brain, Kraus tells us, is vast. It interacts with what we know, with out emotions, with how we think, with our movements, and with our other senses. Auditory neurons make calculations at one-thousandth of a second; hearing is the speediest of our senses. Sound plays an unrecognized role in both healthy and hurting brains. Kraus explores the power of music for healing as well as the destructive power of noise on the nervous system. She traces what happens in the brain when we speak another language, have a language disorder, experience rhythm, listen to birdsong, or suffer a concussion. Kraus shows how our engagement with sound leaves a fundamental imprint on who we are. The sounds of our lives shape our brains, for better and for worse, and help us build the sonic world we live in." -- Publisher's description 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-345) and index. 650 0 $a Hearing. 650 0 $a Sound $x Physiological effect. 650 0 $a Brain. 650 2 $a Brain 650 6 $a Son $x Effets physiologiques. 650 6 $a Cerveau. 650 7 $a brains. $2 aat 650 7 $a Brain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837570 650 7 $a Hearing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00953374 650 7 $a Sound $x Physiological effect. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01126955 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023802.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20221203065751.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=880E8F5872D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
