auditory event perception

Auditory event perception is the process by which our brain interprets sounds in our environment. It involves detecting sounds, distinguishing different sources, and understanding their significance, such as recognizing speech, music, or environmental noises. This process allows us to identify what is happening around us, like hearing footsteps or a siren, and respond appropriately. Our auditory system combines sensory input with prior knowledge and context to make sense of complex soundscapes quickly and effectively, enabling effective communication and awareness of our surroundings.
