![]() An advantage to this could derive from the fact that sounds have many physical, perceptive, psychological, and cultural "dimensions": this implies an expanded range of possibilities for analyzing and interpreting geophysical signals transformed into sounds. These concepts suggest the following idea: we could use complex sounds (and music in particular), and not only images, for geophysical data analysis, interpretation, and integration. Probably our ability to recognize complex sound patterns is one of the results of natural evolution of humans' cognitive capabilities (Ball, 2010). David Huron highlighted the adaptive advantage of having a mind able to recognize sound patterns and to extract complex significances from a heterogeneous flux of sounds arriving from the environment (Huron, 1991). A widely accepted idea (although it is unproven) is that humans have an inborn capacity to process music. ![]() In particular, the auditory cortex has connections to the frontal lobe of the brain where many of our capabilities for abstraction and inference are located. ![]() When we listen to music, the entire brain is active. Sensitivity for music is a diffuse property of the human brain. ![]()
