The last art that Hegel considers is also an art of sound, but sound understood as the sign of ideas and inner representations sound as speech.
Such comparisons might offer up new hypotheses about how humans process sights and sounds, understand language, or navigate the world.
Soundscape ecology aims to use biological, geophysical and anthropogenic sound to understand natural-human landscape dynamics.
While the implants do not provide normal hearing, they help recipients recognize sound and understand what is being said, often with the aid of lip reading.
In an interview with Yale Environment 360, he stresses the importance in conservation of getting into the minds of elephants, which, in contrast to humans and other primates, rely heavily on smell and sound to understand the world.
Experienced sailors can recognize the sounds and understand what's going on.
Betchkal thinks the same is true of wildlife sounds: "To understand what they're all about, you have to make them," he said.
For all the research that has gone into cognitive and computer science, the brain's most formidable algorithms — those used to recognize images or sounds or understand language — have eluded simulation.
My current research focuses on the production and perception of sounds by fishes and whales, and I use this information to address two key areas in coastal ecology: how sounds are produced and used to structure social behaviors, and how I can use the spatial and temporal occurrence of species-specific sounds to understand the population dynamics of vocalizing species.
Hearing is a cognitive process that happens internally — we absorb sound, interpret it, and understand it.
