HD vs. HR

The 90/10 split between vision/hearing wasn't my estimate. It was based upon the amount of information flowing through our senses as determined by research. Total sensory input is somewhere around 11 mbps. Right near 10 mbps is vision. About 900kbps for hearing, and the other senses around 100-120 kbps.

 

Now the processing that goes on with those input bitstreams is far in excess of that. One reason we probably have an easier time using a proxy for real vision is our much more highly developed pattern matching and processing of things visual. The lesser ability with sound means it has to be better for us to make do with it. Our even lesser abilities with other senses makes them even harder to trick in some ways.

 

Thanks for the info.

I wonder if and how that fluctuates with ones vision or lack of.

I trust more ears than eyes.

Yet I want to be tricked into believing with audio…

 

I listen to music, not test signals. The more believable I find it, the more I get enjoyment out of it.

 

Best,
