Podcasts about Psychoacoustics

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent deconstruct the latest column by Stereophile's editor-in-chief and contemplate whether his position on spooky woo-woo has devolved in the past decade. Then they ogle cool amps and preamps on AliExpress that borrow revered brands yet cost only hundreds—and also examine how crazy it'd be to buy this stuff right now (b/c tariffs, not b/c communism and chopsticks). They conclude with a not-terribly-deep dive into a new article from Dennis about audio DIY, but not the kind of audio DIY you're probably imagining. Brent's audio projects:

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent explore the fast-growing world of made-to-order lathe-cut records – and even play one for you! (Prepare to be … well, prepared.) Then they delight in some made-to-order pink noise from Erin's Audio Corner, and deconstruct Holly Cole's new made-to-order (well, for audiophiles) album with the help of Stereophile.  Brent's audio projects:

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent stop by Strata-gee to see how Sonos is strategorizing to scramble back to the summit of the sound souk with a new … oh, wait, change in plans! Then they ally themselves (very conditionally) with a British-ish mastering engineer who contends that high-priced DACs are a scam. Then they bring their incomparable incredulity to bear on the question of whether adding hobbled Dolby Atmos functionality to Cadillacs is the way forward for Atmos or Cadillac. Brent's audio projects:

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent page through the storied Gray Lady (known to some as the New York Times and to Brent as “employer”) and find, to their amazement, an in-depth profile of high-end vinyl company Acoustic Sounds and its iconoclastic proprietor, Chad Kassem. Then they check out what YouTube star Cheapaudioman says are the biggest mistakes audiophiles can make (besides failing to listen to the Audio Unleashed podcast). They conclude by digging through a Tape Op profile of a man in Burbank, California whose life's work is getting messed-up tapes to play so you can finally hear A Flock of Seagulls as they were meant to be heard.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent unexpectedly flip the phase of their podcast by lavishly praising another audio pundit. But they quickly get back to business with an in-depth report on what might be the most preposterous subwoofer review (and most preposterous subwoofer setup) in a long history of preposterous subwoofer reviews by audiophile mags. Then they try to figure out why a famed accessories manufacturer insists that blind testing doesn't work yet employs it nonetheless, and contemplate Passion for Sound's assertion that science disproves the validity of science.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis wonders why a writer for The Atlantic is wondering why his cheap Bluetooth speaker can't generate the feeling of community he got at a Beyoncé concert, while Brent wonders why Dennis was reading The Atlantic. Then they dig into a recent article on acoustics by one of audio's most popular personalities to learn what's better: a lousy speaker in a good room or a good speaker in a lousy room. They conclude with a deep dive into—surprise!—an article about hi-fi published in a mainstream scientific magazine, which recommends a whole new (well, kinda new) speaker layout.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent discuss Danny Ritchie's diagnosis of the legendary Wilson WATT/Puppy; can he find the cure for questionable engineering? Then they ponder whether Spotify is truly evil, and what malice might lurk in the hearts of other streaming services. And they wrap up with speculation about why a stupid article on vinyl seems to have been memory-holed entirely off the internet—and why a vinyl guru's attempt to demo over YouTube says much about the psychology of crowds and nothing about vinyl.

Then they make the mistake of watching one the audio world's cringiest videos, in which audio icon Mark Levinson tries to explain how PCM audio is stressing everyone out, or not stressing everyone out, or something. Or nothing. Or whatever the lawyers let him say. Last, Dennis and Brent check out a Stereophile column by John Atkinson that definitely is not stressing anyone out—except perhaps makers of gratuitously expensive audio gear.

For Women's History Month, we are revisiting Sound & Vision's 2021 miniseries, Behind the Console, which highlights the stories of women and nonbinary audio engineers who are navigating what is still a very male-dominated field. Today we meet Susan Rogers, who engineered for Prince for four years, working on albums like 'Purple Rain' and 'Sign o' the Times.' She also has credits with David Byrne, Tricky, and the Barenaked Ladies. She talks about what it was like keeping up with Prince's tireless creativity, and how it could be both exhausting and exhilarating. She also discusses eventually leaving engineering in her 40s to get her PhD in Music Cognition and Psychoacoustics, and how that has influenced her work in unexpected ways.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The love we feel for certain songs is a very real feeling. There are components in them that speak to us in ways that reveals things about us. Susan Rogers, Professor of Psychoacoustics at Berklee College of Music, has studied how our brains react to music. At 25 she produced records for Crosby, Stills and Nash. She also spent five years as Prince's sound engineer. Rogers says our taste in music begins to form in our infancy and starts creating a sort of soundtrack of your life.   https://www.lowercapenews.org/the-music-of-you

Welcome aboard for Part 2 of the Safe and Sound Texas Audio Excursion conversation with Susan Rogers: record producer + engineer turned brain scientist who pursued learning the role of an audio technician by reading and working on equipment early in her career. Her big break to work for Prince in 1983 gave this self-starter the education of a lifetime with the megastar whose own penchant for learning, experiencing, teaching, and recording are well documented. From there, her studio experiences expanded into independent engineering, producing and mixing in the 1990's. At that time Susan achieved further success producing the Barenaked Ladies 4x platinum breakout smash "Stunt". She eventually phased out of in-studio work to attend college and earned a degree and Ph.D. in the areas of Music Cognition, Perception and Psychoacoustics. In September of 2022, her long anticipated book debuted: “This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You". In this book, the legendary record producer–turned–brain scientist explains why you fall in love with music and how you do it. The book can be found at all fine book retailers.

In this week's first segment (3:33 to 14:28), hosts Brent Butterworth and Dennis Burger start by celebrating the return of Creem magazine and discussing a new article about the resurrection of 8-track tapes thanks to Sacred Bones Records. Next up (15:26 to 37:09) they dig into the August issue of AudioXpress, which is dedicated to acoustics and acoustical treatments. Unsurprisingly, Brent and Dennis have opinions about how the high-end audio industry covers room acoustics, including the fact that the most thorough and conclusive research on this subject has largely been ignored. And for something completely different (38:06 to 51:00), they discuss a recent SoundStage! Access article by Dennis about Midjourney, a text-to-image neural network that might give some insights into public perception of the audiophile hobby.  Sources: “Sacred Bones Resurrects the Objectively Greatest Audio Format: The 8-Track” by Grace Scott: https://www.creem.com/fresh-creem/sacred-bones-records-sacred-8-track-townes-van-zandt “8-track player shootout” by Brent Butterworth: http://nebula.wsimg.com/70d6cc9f190ef501628c12bc8abc0c89?AccessKeyId=DF4B3AC4447AE4612BF0&disposition=0&alloworigin=1 [PDF] “Acoustics and Great Audio Electronics in audioXpress August 2022”: https://audioxpress.com/news/acoustics-and-great-audio-electronics-in-audioxpress-august-2022 "Sound Reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms (Audio Engineering Society Presents) 3rd Edition" by Floyd E.

The next time you reach for that power button on your headset, make sure you understand what you're feeding your brain. You wouldn't want to accidentally do your homework—or would you? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

What is psychoacoustics and why should we care about it? Paige Hodsman, concept developer for Saint-Gobain Ecophon explains how the psychology of how we perceive sound is essential for our health and wellbeing. She explains how humans react to sound stimulus directly relates to our performance at work for instance. This helps us understand how people respond to their environment and how we can design better spaces. Did you know that biophilic improvements to a space has a positive impact on our brains through our hearing too? The vast experience of humans have been outside, in fact we are particularly suited to being in a natural environment, in fact neuronal activity is greater when we hear natural sounds.Paige looks at how our physical world produces responses in our bodies, how the materials used in our environment affect how sound waves behave. When these sound waves enter our ears, what next? The pitch, quality and type of sound makes a difference to our brains. By using research conducted by pscyho-acousticians we can learn how different sounds are processed, what happens inside the ear, how the mechanical sound wave becomes an electrical impulses that then feed through the nervous system and therefore affect our brains.At 14.10 Paige describes just HOW the sound waves enters our eardrum and how it then is translated into perception. If we soften the environment it is better for our brains. Lots of reflective surfaces, for instance in hospitals, some environments in schools, offices and homes, disorient us, which triggers responses in our brains saying something might be wrong. If you think about it, our early lives on the plains, we were constantly listening out for predators, attacks, thunderstorms, danger, threats, as well as where food is. Anything which is cacophonous triggers that perception of threat, and therefore also triggers our fight or flight mode. So being in a constantly noisy environment keeps our adrenalin levels high and our hormones racing, putting pressure on our nervous system, bodies and overall health. At 34.38 Paige looks closer at good biophilic acoustics after having discussed the bre office project, which is a case study lead by Oliver Heath on how we can design a better office using human-centric design bringing nature, textures, materials, temperature control and more into an office environment. Essentially how we can bring “home” to the office. (We covered this here if you would like to watch the video - or search ‘bre biophilic office project' on our ‘podcast' page on our website www.journalofbiophilicdesign.com or on YouTube). How we can mimic nature in our built environment by bringing the best of an outdoor environment inside. Did you know that opening a window is one of the best natural sound absorbers? But if you can't open a window or door how do you recreate that “sound” absorption. You need the right levels of absorption in a space, and companies like Ecophon who produce sound-baffling panels (which we print images and virtual nature windows on) are excellent methods of creating better acoustics environments. Also you can introduce water sounds, bird song, wind in the trees. Paige makes an important point, you also need to think about where the sound is pumped out from. For instance you don't want water coming from above your head, you want it emanating from a believable height (otherwise you might think you've got a leak in the building!), also from a psychological perspective, having a visual to enhance the sound is excellent (so images of what the sound comes from, e.g. a waterfall, or fountain, stream, seascape, etc) or a real water feature is excellent.Let us know what kinds of acoustic environments work best for you, email us on editor@journalofbiophilicdesign.com or message our Linkedin page, or engage with us on Instagram or FB.

Sound & Vision's mini-series, Behind the Console, highlights the stories of women and nonbinary audio engineers who are navigating what is still a very male-dominated field.  Today we meet Susan Rogers, who engineered for Prince for four years, working on albums like Purple Rain and Sign o' the Times. She also has credits with David Byrne, Tricky, and the Barenaked Ladies. She talks about what it was like keeping up with Prince's tireless creativity, and how it could be both exhausting and exhilarating. She also discusses eventually leaving engineering in her 40s to get her PhD in Music Cognition and Psychoacoustics, and how that has influenced her work in unexpected ways.

Humans sang before we created language, some linguists say. Is our first language the best way to communicate with dogs? Can Music Calm an Anxious Dog? Babies who fuss and cry all night are not resting well ... and neither are their parents. Heartbeat Lullabies, a hit recording from hit music producer Terry Woodford, helped. Everyone from NICU nurses to parents sent gratitude ... and then the Honolulu Zoo, animal shelters, and exhausted dog moms. Turns out, what works for babies works for animals, too. Joshua Leeds, music producer and bio-acoustics expert, joins us to explain why. Surviving the Loss of Three Dogs in A Year They say bad things happen in threes, and the year 2020 amplified that by about twenty bajillion. For Lori Levine and her family, the losses last year were in part canine: three family dogs died. Lori joins us to explain how her own history with grieving -- and a special Warren Zevon song -- helped her to cope. If you wonder how you will face your dog's death, Lori's expert advice will help … because this celebrity marketing expert has a lifetime of hard-won wisdom to share.

When Dario Garcia started to design his own sounds, his first obsession was to being able to use frequencies to induce altered states of consciousness to those who listen. Psychoacoustics, low and high frequencies, experimental equalizations and heavy post-processes are some of the resources he has been always working around in his different projects to cause different somatizations to the listener. Notzing is the project to develop this idea in form of useful mental tools, created to being used in long mixes, powerful quadraphonic sound systems and a bunch of listeners. When these conditions are met, the project background makes sense. The Notzing project compositions usually are monotones complex loops, with a repetitive rhythm oscillating. The purpose is to make easier the trance induction and to give more freedom to the creative process and sound design on live performances to overlap layers of sounds, textures and to develop a unique sound.

When Dario Garcia started to design his own sounds, his first obsession was to being able to use frequencies to induce altered states of consciousness to those who listen.

This episode can be summed up with two competing quotes: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”"Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science!”The first quote is by the famous science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke. The second quote is unknown, but points out that the spell books for such magic are to be found in the methods and tools of science. So how does sound work? What is the difference between analog and digital audio? How does a computer store an audio file and then rebuild it into sound waves that you can hear? What is the journey that this podcast took to get from our voice boxes into your headphones? We answer those questions and more in this episode all about the technology of sound with software engineer Drew Shapiro. While studying electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, Drew also had a minor in music, making him a perfect guest for this episode.

“Epigenetics can be passed down inter-generationally. Indigenous traditions have the idea that what you do in your lifetime will impact 7 generations down from you. There’s actually good scientific backing for this idea now.” — David Krantz, HEx Podcast #29 It took me nearly an hour to pick my jaw up off the floor after speaking with David. He's just THAT GUY. Charismatic and approachable. Able to dig deep into the fundamentals of epigenetics and gene editing, and then play you a song from one of his 5 full musical albums at the end of it. David is someone who walks the walk. A polymathic mad scientist designing the minds and mental states for the future of humanity. When I think of someone on the bleeding edge of science and performance, David definitely fits the bill. Currently, David works as an Epigenetic Performance Coach and the Director of Psychoacoustics at the Apeiron Center. He came into his work through a series of synchronicities, something we dive into more in the conversation — but seems to be right at home consulting for some major players in the business, athletic, and artistic spaces. “Your natural bias is to think ‘this is the answer, this is how everyone should do it!’ In terms of navigating that, I find there’s a certain ethos or mentality that I look for, and if I don’t find it I instantly become wary. That ethos is acknowledging ‘Hey, I don’t know everything, and this is just one idea’. When I see people who can say ‘hey, here’s one study, and there’s another that contradicts it, and I’m not trying to hide it.’ And to the best of my ability, I try to do that.’” — David Krantz, HEx Podcast #29 There was nothing off the table for this conversation, and David has a remarkable ability to distill complex scientific concepts into something easily digestible and understandable, for beginners and experts alike. Whether you're a seasoned biohacker wanting to dive into the nuances of genetic testing, or someone just starting out in the self-optimization space, there's something here for you. David embodies the archetype of someone living a HighExistence, doing their best work in a way that is sustainable and pushes the edge of what is possible forward. I think you're going to love this conversation, Jon and I certainly enjoyed being a part of it. “If you’re just going to try to change one variable, just change diet and nothing else, maybe that is worthwhile for someone who just wants reductionistic data, but that’s not how things work in the world. So let’s look at everything as holistically and fully as we can.” — David Krantz, HEx Podcast #29 WHAT WE DISCUSS IN THIS EPISODE: What does an ‘epigenetic health coach’ do? What bio-markers you should focus on for performance, longevity, and mood Davids revealing experience testing his own genome What David thinks about sleep and health tracking tools How do you transition from making music to epigenetic coaching? Noticing the synchronicities in your life and following the path How do you separate fact from fiction in the health and bio-hacking space? How to break free of the ‘healthy normal’ bias in the standard medical paradigm The difference between being healthy and having optimal health What does DNA do in our body? The impact of epigenetics on your genomic expression Exploring the concept of ‘clock genes’ The science behind transgenerational epigenetic inheritance David’s personal story of epigenetic inheritance and healing wounds from the Holocaust How your physiology is shaped while in the womb Where the notion of ‘past lives’ might come from… Trauma work and it’s overlap with epigenetics and genetic expression The importance of understanding your family’s past and history What David thinks about artificial light and quick biohacking tips Melatonin and optimizing the sleep/wake cycle Sleep is the cornerstone of maintaining healthy functioning Much, much more… WHERE TO FIND DAVID KRANTZ: Visit his website Check out the Apeiron Center Find him on Instagram

In this episode, Kyle interviews David Krantz, Certified Epigenetic Coach, and an expert in nutritional genomics. In the show, they talk about the effects of substances via the implications on an individual’s genetics. 3 Key Points: Epigenetic testing is a bio-hack for boosting cognitive function and harnessing our creativity and ultimate human potential. There has been a lot of research done on genetics and the effects of THC. The body produces cannabinoids that activate the THC receptors internally, which varies from person to person. Each person should be seen on an individual level, and the more we know about our unique genetics, the more we can understand about our interactions with different substances.

Let’s stop leaving out the outliers.” - David Taking an individualized approach to the psychedelic space is highly beneficial Links Website Instagram About David David Krantz is a certified Epigenetic Coach who specializes in boosting cognitive function and helping clients harness their creative and personal power.

Dr. P and the team dish on Chamber Music Recitals, next week's musical, and Psychoacoustics.

This post takes a look into how our bodies and psyches respond to the soundscapes around us. Here we’ll provide some more credibility and extra evidence to back up your experience-driven design decisions regarding sound. Featuring interviews with author and architectural critic, Sarah Williams Goldhagen, and cognitive psychologist, Dr. Holly Taylor. Check out the accompanying visual handout at: http://edrpl.us/blog/2018/9/25/psychoacoustics-and-wellbeing

In this episode Eric interviews Michael Hall from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA. Michael's fascination with sound and music start in childhood as his mother was a concert pianist, and this personal interest turns professional with his training in psychoacoustics. Michael also shares his philosophy about the role of undergraduate education, the importance of research experiences, his role in launching a new journal, his involvement in Psi Chi and "boundary flexibility," and so much more.

We all know that dogs have exceptional hearing, but HOW they hear and WHAT they hear is a mystery to most of us. Psychoacoustics expert Joshua Leeds partnered with Veterinary Neurologist Dr. Susan Wagner to create a book and CD entitled "Through a Dog's Ear - Using Sound to Improve the Health and Behavior of Your Canine Companion" after learning, through extensive research, that certain classical musical had a calming effect on dogs. In this fascinating conversation, Leeds talks about how dogs are affected by the sounds in your home and neighborhood and how their nervous systems are impacted by auditory stimulus.If you have a question that you'd like answered about your dog, write to us at GoodDog@SmarterPodcasts.comSmarterPodcasts.com, Delivering Sound Advice.

What’s important to recognize is that the kind of blanket statement of either pot is good for you or it’s bad for you is really oversimplified and I hope we can break some of that down and really talk about the intricacy of that today. Disclosure: The purpose of this podcast is to dispel dogma, share scientific backed information, and talk about the health benefits of cannabis Any statement mentioned in this podcast is not a medical recommendation so please speak to your physician before doing anything stupid. About the Guest David Krantz: David Krantz is an epigenetic coach, musician, and entrepreneur based in Asheville, North Carolina. He serves as the Director of Psychoacoustics at the Apeiron Center for Human Potential, where he explores the interaction between art, science, and health. As a coach, he works with clients using genetically informed, personalized strategies for optimal wellness and greater creativity. The Topic: Cannabis Genetics Cannabis is a controversial topic. To some, it is a gateway drug. To others, it helps deal with common problems including inflammation, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. In this podcast, David and Boomer speak in depth about the endocannabinoid system, cannabinoids, cannabis genetics, and how your genes may affect both your desire to use weed and the overall effect it has on you. Key Highlights: Addressing the age-old question: is marijuana good for you? What is the difference between CBD and THC? What is Sativa versus Indica? The potential use of cannabis in PTSD The natural occurring cannabinoids in our body Why higher levels of anandamide may be associated with increased stress resiliency The gene associated with the breakdown of anandamide into arachidonic acid How CNR1, one of our main cannabinoid receptor genes, is involved in bone density, constipation, weight gain, weight loss, circadian rhythm, hormone regulation, cognitive function and also leaky gut What genes and variants are associated with cannabis consumption and a worse working memory Scientific Studies on Cannabis Genetics: How CYP2C9 affects the metabolism of THC - Interindividual variation in the pharmacokinetics of Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) as related to genetic polymorphisms in CYP2C9 The impact of cannabis consumption on working memory depending on CNR1 gene variant - Functional genetic variation of the cannabinoid receptor 1 and cannabis use interact on prefrontal connectivity and related working memory behavior. Withdrawl Symptoms and the FAAH gene - Intermediate cannabis dependence phenotypes and the FAAH C385A variant: an exploratory analysis. Amygdala and Hippocampus sizes among Cannabis Users - Associations between cannabinoid receptor-1 (CNR1) variation and hippocampus and amygdala volumes in heavy cannabis users. ATK1 and the Psychedelic Effects of Marijuana - Associations between cannabinoid receptor-1 (CNR1) variation and hippocampus and amygdala volumes in heavy cannabis users. Let's say you want to look into the potential impact of cannabis on your health. You can start by looking at your cannabis genetics. If you already have 23andMe, below is a guide to learning more about your genetic predispositions for cannabis. If you want to learn more about genetic testing and its use for creating custom health plans, schedule a FREE 30-minute call today. How to Access Your 23andMe Raw Data: The raw data in each 23andMe report contains over ~600,000 lines of raw data. Log-in to 23andMe.com Access the raw data. The menu bar contains a header “Tools.” Move your cursor over the Tools header to access the drop-down menu. The last of the six drop-down features is “Browse Raw Data.” Click on this. This is the most powerful area of 23andMe. From this point, you can access ~600,000 lines of genetic information with the RSID. Finding the RSID. 23andMe requires you to search raw data through RSID. The RSID is the Reference SNP cluster ID. Researchers use it to report findings. How to Look Into Your Own Cannabis Genetics: The below single nucleotide polymorphisms are searchable in 23andMe using the RSID listed below. CYP2C9 – the liver enzyme which breaks down THC RSID – RS1057910 A allele = fast metabolizer of THC CC allele = slow metabolizer of THC CC tends to take longer to process THC, hence more in the bloodstream CC also tends to report more drowsiness or a more intense effect from the same amount of THC FAAH - Breaks down Anandamide, one of your body's two main cannabinoids. Activates the CB1 receptor. RSID - RS324420 C allele - lower levels of anandamide (more FAAH activity) CC - more dopamine activation when exposed to the smell of cannabis CC - worse sleep with cannabis use CNR1 - is the Cannabinoid Receptor 1 gene. This gene is in the brain and central nervous system. It is involved in our experience with anxiety, feeding behavior, and neurotransmitter balance. RSID - Rs2023239 G allele - associated with more cravings and withdrawal The correlation is very strong when combined with a FAAH CC variant G allele carriers may have worse working memory than AA when using cannabis ATK1 - Protein which acts as signaling for the dopamine pathway RSID - Rs2494732 C allele associated with a more psychedelic effect Additional Resources for Cannabis Genetics: David Krantz's website David Krantz's free webinar on cannabis genetics David's article on the CYP2C9 gene Professor of Pot - an informed resource on cannabis See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Susan was more than Prince’s engineer, she considered them friends, a friend she gave her life to for several years. “Married” in a sense to Prince with his heavy demands. But that’s not all Prince was to her, this is a man she had a deep respect for. Susan’s path eventually led her to Berklee, where now she’s a professor as well as a researcher. It’s been an interesting, thrilling journey for Susan Rogers.
