auditory illusions
Auditory illusions are sounds that trick our brains into perceiving something different from what is actually present. They occur because our auditory system and brain interpret sounds based on context, expectations, and patterns. For example, the "Oh-Oh" illusion makes us hear phrases like "you are outside," depending on how the sound is played. These illusions reveal how our perception is constructed and can be influenced by various factors, illustrating that what we hear is not always an exact reflection of reality but shaped by our brain's interpretation.
