The brain listens. Kraus N.

Our hearing brain is vast - this is something more than just a sound processing device. Nina Kraus tells how he affects our emotions, thoughts, movements. A auditory neurons process information for a thousandth of a second, and hearing is the fastest of all feelings. Kraus describes the healing power of music and the destructive noise power. It monitors what is happening with the brain when we speak a foreign language, suffer from speech disorders, perceive the rhythm, listen to bird singing or we get a concussion.

Kraus shows that the interaction with the sound imposes an indelible imprint on who we are. The sounds around us affect our brain and - to thin or to good - help us build the sound world in which we live.
