I had a Dachshund who went blind. He could find his way from across the street, through the yard, right to the back yard gate. He'd take a few steps, tilt his head, reorient himself, take more steps, repeating the process. One day the two water fountains in the front and side yards were not running. Instead of finding his way, he walked in circles, completely lost and confused. I realized then, *he used the sound of the fountains to triangulate his path to the gate.* My mind is still blown by watching this little dog do more complicated math, in his head, than I can without a calculator.

[@Aaron628318]

In a sense this is the audio equivalent of vision - using reflections of ambient noise. I understand that submarines use this 'passive sonar' to remain incognito.

[@foxboy64]

your dog isnt really doing math, thats not how the instinctual perception of space and proprioception works. there's technically math going into you being able to catch a ball without looking at your hand the whole way, but you're not doing calculations like you would do with trigonometry. you just kind of instinctually know where your hand is and how far you have to move it to catch the ball. as someone whos vision impaired (not blind but i certainly dont see as well as everyone else, even corrected), i do the same sort of thing all the time. mostly in online gaming, the spatial perception of sound really helps fill in the gaps my sight leaves out. say for instance in a shooter, with a few turns of the "characters head" (looking left and right, kinda the equivalent of a dog head tilt.) i can work out almost exactly where in space a set of footsteps is coming from. i do this in real life as well when trying to pinpoint a sound i cant see. so i found Benn's mention that humans dont do the head tilt kind of funny, because i certainly do it. anyway the point is, im not calculating any numbers in my head to work that out. its just a passive skill you pick up when your other senses have to compensate for bad sight. its like how your eyes have to coordinate to both look at the same object in order to perceive its 3d space, but with your ears instead.

[@CatwithFancyHat]

​@@foxboy64 Well Benn was probably talking about humans without vision impairment, he only said we aren't born with this ability. But as you said, we can certainly develop it to compensate for something damaged in our perception, but evolution never felt the need to give us an instinct from birth that makes our head tilt to compensate for a lack of "3D hearing" (can't come up with a better word).

[@Cola.Cube.]

@@foxboy64 I also find it amazing that your hearing is the first sense to develope in the womb and the last sense to stop working at time of death. I've always considered my hearing more important than my sight. I'm a musician, so that probably has a lot to do with it.

[@Raelven]

[@The8BitGuy]

I'm not convinced that the frequency of sound would be different to dogs or other animals. Unlike computers, we actually have different parts of our cochleas that are sensitive to different frequencies. So I think the pitch of our voices would remain the same for dogs, but it would just seem that we're talking more slowly.

[@JohnZ-]

It’s more that his editing program deepens the pitch when the video clip is slowed down

[@yosefmacgruber1920]

@@JohnZ- Strangely, due to digital sound processing, playback speed can be changed independently of frequency. Even some digital answering machines can do this. It seemed like he reduced the pitch of his voice, more so than any slowdown of playback speed could have accounted for? Like maybe sound-editing on a computer.

[@Stinckyfatmama]

And since they don’t understand English, you could use some ai software to giberize the audio so the tone and cadence are the same but it’s just essentially unintelligible.

[@ChristopherWoods]

I believe the reality is that dogs (and other animals) will actually hear a wider sound spectrum with a different frequency bias (see the Fletcher Munson Curve); the perceived loudness of human speech for example may not be as prominent, though they have become attuned to human speech through evolution and breeding. Dogs interpret pitch and intonation and have been demonstrated to read human faces for cues. No doubt that their temporal resolution and reaction times are vastly superior though, much like cats. My understanding of human temporal resolution is that it's actually more nuanced than just saying it rolls off at 60 Hz; I can clearly see the difference between 60 and 90/100 Hz for example. Above that, at least on my high refresh monitor, I can't reliably test due to the inherent limitations of IPS panels. But I can absolutely see at a faster refresh than 60 Hz. Whether my brain is able to react as fast is another matter, largely dependent on attentiveness and whatever is occupying active thought processes (e.g. how talking on a phone while driving or focusing on a satnav reduces spatial awareness).

[@yosefmacgruber1920]

​@@ChristopherWoods Wouldn't dogs become attuned to human speech because they like us and due to familiarity? We humans probably smell funny and talk funny, but they do not much care about that, because they like us. I have long wanted to write a modern GUI OS for my first computer, my Apple //e, that I bought in 1985. I have estimated that in its highest resolution, double-high-resolution graphics, if I could straight copy from memory, at just 1 MHz CPU, I could only get about 5 frames per second, faster if I only have to redraw a smaller portion of the screen. That is because the loop cycle time uses about 12 clock cycles, and an entire 16K block of RAM data has to be copied to the video RAM buffer again and again. Back in the day, that would have been almost enough to do a 3-D game, if I could somehow approach that in my game. It wouldn't be too terribly bad for scrolling a stylized text screen. Not quite the "instant" response of modern computers, but a mere fifth of a second. And repeat arrow keys hold-down or presses could be combined into greater-distance scrolls so as to keep up. Certainly a calm game like _Myst_ could work with such a low frame rate. But if I only wanted to make the screen flash, I could maybe boost it to 6 or 7 frames a second, since I wouldn't have to load new data into the CPU's registers. Or it could be much faster by switching to a lower-resolution screen. It wasn't that long ago that 24 frames a second for film in the movie theater, was plenty fast. Maybe the flicker is noticeable, but still motion appears to be motion.

Humans can change time perception too. For instance under extremely stressful and/or life threatening conditions. I have experienced this personally. I have been in a car accident years ago, skidded on a side of the curved road and crashed into a tree with the drivers side door (I was driving). I can remember to this day how my time perception had extremely slowed down to the point where I could see the tree approaching, then slowly making contact with the car door, the door slowly bending around the three, the glass shattering into hundreds of tiny pieces and flying towards me, all that as if I was watching video footage that was slowed down tens of times and at the same time the resolution and detail was extremely enhanced. The crash took a second or two but it felt like time almost stopped at that particular moment. Will never forget it.

[@j.vdubois5074]

Actually there was a research for this involving blindfolded people doing backwards bungee jump. The result was that they did not experience time dilatation. But they formed a lot more memories, being able to recall details that would have been normally discarded. The reverse happens in prison solitude - while it is extremely bad at the time, prisoners later recollected as if months passed as days. Of course if there are no interesting things happening around you, all days blend into each other.

I have the suspicion cats process faster than that. Humans process quicker in extreme situations, we perceive time slower in moments of excitement, especially adrenaline fuelled events. I see my cats pupils go huge even in the day when she’s hunting. I think cats switch on a mode where they overclock their brain for a while to hunt; while I barely passed biology I think like a camera they need more light in their eyes to run that frame rate, there’s no way she could react as fast as she does while operating slower than me at rest.. I often barely process what shes doing. When you slow-mo your cat on your phone while chasing a toy its still fairly calculated, accurate movements/reactions, not blind flailing and hope.

After listening to the bird for a couple minutes, I repeated its call on my guitar. It then waited about *15 seconds* before it called out again. *It heard me!* We did this back and forth a few times; every time I repeated its call, it would take longer for it to respond.

A note about flies: they also sense changes in air pressure extremely well which is why a lattice-like object that allows air to flow through it, such as a swatter, can reliably hit flies when swung fast but a solid, flat object like an open palm is telegraphed from a fly-mile away. coincidentally an object moving slower creates less of a disturbance in air pressure.

The whole claim you guys mention here from the video is a highly repeated myth among the public, especially those who still don't understand or even read good old Albert E' and his relativity clarifications. And one of the most frequent things to see is people also mentioning AE without having checked or managed to understand his work (of course it has a few quirks but no major things). The perception organisms have is of *motion* ,not of time, as we have relative motions. E= MC squared. Time is the way we register the reduction of distances between what is in always present motion. Each moving locality is only in a speed relative to what you compare to. The only exception here is a semi-particle moving at C, called a photon, and that is why it is a semi-particle and not a regular mass particle. (Luminosity = high energy particles reaching your eyes) So time in real physics = the reduction of distance. That's it. It is how to define that you proved motion to occur. Or like some will say a measuring concept. There is no time "on top of" motion in an existential fashion.

Of course I don't think it changed my hearing or the capabilities of my eyes, but I always wondered how that relates to time perception. Edit: I found this from an article online for anyone else curious: "studies on mice have shown that time perception can be speeded up by stimulating dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. These findings have profound implications for people with dopamine-related disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Here, there is a reduction in dopamine, so sufferers could perhaps be impulsive because they perceive time more slowly."

This makes me wonder about long lived ambush hunters like tarantulas, who generally have pretty poor vision as far as resolution go, and tend to sit around doing almost nothing until they need to hunt, which is rarely. The longest lived spider was a trapdoor known as Number 16 who lived into her 40s. I wonder what 40 years feels like for a trapdoor Especially since mygalomorphs like trapdoors and tarantulas can have AMAZING reaction times. If you look up a trapdoor grabbing prey, the time it takes for them to grab prey is near instant to us.

[@thromboid]

I've wondered that too. I could never sit perfectly still for as long as spiders and cats do - even if my lunch depended on it!

[@Scootfairy]

Maybe they have a rich internal world.

[@Vysair]

A rock can sit longer than a river because one does not move while the other flow. Basically, if the world seems bland and empty to a spider, won't it just be nothing to them? They won't just feel anything at all unlike a cat or dog which a world seems colorful to them.

[@thromboid]

@@Vysair I think it would be unlikely that spiders would evolve such an excellent survival strategy without being able to tolerate or even enjoy the wait. But maybe they have really good podcasts.

[@user-sn6yb8kr1m]

Even if they have any memories their time may feel like just nothing, lol! Benefit of living in the moment. But regarding their visual perception, the time from their visual sensory experience may be different from their internal time perception. In some of these replies there were questions about cats' supposed slow perception, but it may just be about its visual sensory experience. Their internal time may be different. Our senses may receive more information than we can process, so each sense may have its own time independent of our internal time that ties the story we tell ourselves...

[@21EC]

8:02 - wow...then this explains why and how they can jump so freaking quickly from branch to branch so easily without failing even once and in such precise way..they see everything much slower and it gives them extra time in their perception to be able to perform that properly with such coordination of their legs.

We do in fact hear whether a sound comes from behind or in front of us, and I would assume also up or down. It’s the reason why our ears are ear shaped. It reflects and channels the sound just slightly differently depending on the direction it comes from, so as we grow up our brain will fine tune its guess to where the sound is from. Steve Mould has a great demonstration on how messing with the ear shape will totally mess with your ability to track sounds.

[@DannyGruesome]

Yes. Things directly in front of you are heard better than sounds coming from the left or right even.

[@Dayanto]

​@@DannyGruesome Sure, but you could do that even with just earholes based on the difference in timing and volume since one ear is closer than the other. That doesn't work when the sound is coming from above, below, in front of, or behind you since they have the same distance to both ears. It's literally impossible to tell the difference without some kind of special ear shape that can _create_ a difference in the reflected sound.

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

Binaural recording mimics the human head! It's near full 3D with only regular headphones, sans physical shaking of floors and other objects. It's not just the ears, but the whole head and even mechanical waves transferred through materials we are in contact with, and how the brain extrapolates distance and direction from all of it in processing. From what I heard the reason some of us can't tell direction well and what not, is because with all of the modern amenities, we don't have to be all that alert all the time, and many of us just don't use our senses to the best of our abilities. People can learn how to hone their senses though. I also wouldn't be surprised if many pets are also operating on diminished capacity.

[@SaebriSelect]

but the only difference between a sound in front or behind is the decibels. the same sound would be only louder in front of you. i could play the same sound, but you would want to say its in front if its louder. so its kind of a stretch to say we can actually hear a sound from infront of you versus behind you. its really just a guess. so calling a 'guess' or a 'feeling' as 'fact' is kinda hardcore lol. u also cant tell if a sound is above or below you, is why a lot of people get confused in video games about vertical audio, thats because there is no such thing as vertical audio lol. its all a guess or a feeling, and you have to move your head and hear the noise again to actually know

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

@@SaebriSelect Not true: Your head and ear lobes, hair... change the sound that's behind you, in a way the same sound sounds different from different directions. It isn't the volume that counts as that can be distance related. The brain can tell distance of some sounds for their familiarity and what volume they are expected to be at. Now add movement, the Doppler effect and what not and you actually do hear in full 3D!

[@telumatramenti7250]

This is exactly why it's so easy to catch a dragonfly if you move slowly. It's weird, but as a kid a realisation occurred to me, after reading Darwin's shortened version of "Origin" when I was watching dragonflies hunt. I thought that they must have evolved a vision to perceive fast motion much more slowly than we do in order to achieve such flight precision. Naturally, thought I, there was no reason for the dragonflies to perceive slow motion at all, this couldn't possibly aid a dragonfly in a more successful reproduction. And, of course, I immediately tested my theory, and was amazed at just how easy it was to catch one by moving slowly. It was mind boggling how those huge, thousand-faceted eyes that probably see almost the entire 3-D space around them are at the same time, - completely blind to slow movements. It was bizarre, I even learned how to make dragonflies land on my outstretched hand by mimicking the way a branch swings in gentle breeze, which totally freaked out my friends. I haven't lost touch as an adult either. Here imgur.com/a/Kn4Rlw3

Incredible knowledge. I own two guinea pigs, Freya and Eisa, so now I know they perceive reality a bit faster than me (also the sound frequencies). A while ago, I was testing my studio monitors with a signal generator. When I played low frequent energy, Freya was squeaking just as she does when she knows she gets vegetables or other food. Pretty amazing and unique. I founded the reason why she does this. In regular cases, a guinea pig is placed by a new owner at 4 weeks old. When I had bought Freya, she was already 10 weeks old. She was a wild and anxious guinea pig, but she isn’t afraid anymore by putting a lot of effort and time into caring for her. Last year, her friend died unfortunately, so somewhat later on I bought a new friend for her. This guinea (Eisa) was 4 weeks old when she was brought to me. Instead of the woman, her boyfriend brought the piggie. She already told me that he drives a big crane truck (he’s a roadworker). When he saw my gear I told him that I produce music. He tells me that he likes Hardstyle music (heavy low end!!). Case was, Freya stayed 6 weeks longer than usual and probably got food when he arrived with his truck or his car that played Hardstyle music (speakers + big sub). So now I knew why Freya reacts to low frequencies! It’s really amazing if you ask me.

For the first part about dogs tilting their heads, I remember watching a very interesting video about the exact opposite thing to what you said; human's ears have evolved to be able to diagnose the direction, or plane on which a sound lies, by the loops and curls that defines our ears. Many animals don't have this setup (dogs, birds, etc...) so we are technically more advanced in the regard of honing, not so much with audible frequency. The conclusion was made by the guy sticking silly putty in his son's ears, blindfolding him and then having him pinpoint his mom and dad (the creator of the video) clapping in different points around the kid. Needless to say, it was to no avail. Therefore, take those beautiful traits your weird ears have and be grateful they look the way they do!

The whole "time is relative" thing is so hard to wrap my head around, but I'm always seeing new bewildering evidence that the speed at which time flows isn't always the same.

[@LilyUnicorn]

Time flows the same no matter what. Too many people confuse spacetime as some magical sci fi concept. Spacetime is actually just space at a certain event. Time always moves forward. Time is an event and does not change that event point. How you see something (known as your perception of time) is what they mean. Think of a bird who can see the spectrums (rgb and uv). Us who can see rgb. And cats/dogs who can see green and blue spectrum but not red. Now think of an orange ball with uv markings on it. Bird can see orange and uv. Humans can see only orange. Dogs/spectrum cant see red spectrum and orange is about 45% or more red spectrum with 20 to 40% green spectrum and 0 to 10 ish% spectrum. To them it will appear like a desaturated bluish green/yellow. But has the ball changed? NO. It has not. It is still the same. We simply just dont see it the same way. Time is the same. Time does not miraculousy pull magic. This is not a hard concept. Just normal people who misinterpreted what einsteins spacetime means. While time may feel slower or faster from your viewpoint, time itself does not change. Event A has always happened at Event A. Think of an obese and a fit person running at the same pace... tied together with the same leash. Footsteps in sync. Obese person may feel like everything is taking forever as it is basically dragged around by fit person. Fit person may feel relaxed, slow paced but as if time runs quickly. Perception is mental. It is not reality. The reality of a time event should not be conflated with imaginary perception. Its created this massive misunderstanding of time and spacetime as some sort of gidly hocus pocus that is far simpler than you think.

But 1 day to 50 year old 1/18250 (i think, did it in my head) of their life and perceived time. I've also thought that maybe it has something to do with everyday traumas we experience, and for some big traumas that would make it even worse, causing us dissociate from our lives. Like once we got to school and were extremely bored and stressed and that boredom and stress increase through our school years, and we start to dissociate from time a little to get through that boredom and stress. By the time we retire at 63ish and have worked full time and experienced loss like death and pain from relationships and friends and had near death experiences and ask the other little and big traumas for 63 years we've become so used to dissociating from reality to get through the day to day that that's our new normal, and when you dissociate things go by faster for you. Which is why it's so inorganic to learn mindfulness and learning to sit in your feelings and all that. But maybe I am only seeing the world through my own lense and that's what makes sense to me based on my own life and problem with dissociating. But I'd be sorry interested to hear your take on that and any theories you or the scientific community have on our time perception!

My parrot can talk. ALSO I know exactly how he “hears” humans when we talk, because he mocks us when we are having a conversation, laughing, or even when we are having a heated conversation. He hates those. He goes “Murr murr murr murr murr murr” to mimic humans talking. It’s kind of similar to the “Peanuts” characters teachers and adults murmur. Which makes me convinced that Charles Schultz had a talking bird at one point in his life, before he made those cartoons, or at least someone on his staff did. I’ve even heard my bird mocking some neighbors outside who are speaking in Chinese, and his mimicking of them sounds exactly like his mimicking of my husband and I speaking English. So it’s not specific to one language. It’s just “human speak.” But he also has some things he says to us that are very specific to what he’s just heard (like saying “achoo” right after we sneeze.) So it makes me believe he does have some awareness of what he’s saying, that it’s not just mimicry. Not sure what that means for the rate and speed at which he can hear us. Those are some cute ducks, btw!

[@lsmmoore1]

I figure I know what you mean. Technically the parrot hears the same sounds, but the general way they perceive and filter it is different. When humans tune out and only half hear the conversation, it doesn't (always) sound like that to us. But it always does to a parrot. I would describe that as "worldview" for lack of a better word, and I also want to add that this is something that differs within species as well. The "flow" of the world (that I would define as the way one's brain naturally turns its attention between things whether deliberately or otherwise) is perceived differently through autistic eyes than non-autistic eyes even when all concerned are human. Outside of my own perception, I have only really seen this "flow" represented in the movie Billy Elliot, featuring a boy in a toxically masculine family and who wants to be a ballet dancer - and is definitely autistic. And Billy's autistic issues manifest similarly to those of Zuko from the Avatar the Last Airbender series because, like Zuko, he too is raised by a toxically masculine jerk of a father (so both have meltdowns characterized by very pugilistic anger). Except Billy isn't manipulated the way Zuko is so can still clearly see he wants to do ballet. And it is clear that autistic people were involved in the art direction of that film, because a non-autistic person has neither the words nor frame of reference to know what that even looks like.

[@lsmmoore1]

@UCnu8XvnIdT38APWzGqlHmng I'm not. The phenomenon I am referring to (due to lack of a word for it and difficulty of portrayal) is very difficult to describe, unless you happen to be one of those people whose perceptual filters differ from the norm (which I am). Though there is one hint I can give. If they perceive and filter something differently than we do, they will perceive their own imitation of something we do differently than we do, that imitation will line up with their own perception of the thing - but that imitation will end up sounding like something we do to us, because even though their filter is different from ours, it's still capable of registering the same sounds we hear, with consistent rhythms. And as a result of still being able to hear enough of the sounds line up, they can make an imitation that sounds accurate to our ears even if they hear the imitation and the original sound differently than we do. Because difference in filter is less like being colorblind, if you will, and more like seeing every color, except every color has a different setting. Like if someone saw a rainbow but their rainbow looked like purple, blue, green, indigo, red, orange, yellow, in that order (resulting in seeing red skies, indigo grass, and blue sunsets), so if they transmitted their view of a landscape to us telepathically, the picture would look downright weird to our eyes. But since the color alignment perceived by this hypothetical person is consistent right down to them perceiving the colors of paints in alignment with how they see the rainbow, they could still produce a painting with the correct colors, even to our eyes. And they could still name colors correctly, provided you didn't test them with telepathic imagery, because the colors they learned would be according to their perception and not ours. And the only way you'd see anything is different is through their opinions on which colors clash and which don't. That is how someone can have a very different perception of an aspect of the world, and yet produce accurate representations from the perspective of someone who does not perceive the world the same way. And that is more or less the same level of evidence this person gets from the parrot. Mostly accurate imitation, and a slightly odd form of mockery. And you might not even notice the mockery when it isn't childishly blatant - autistic people have found that they sometimes mock some of the tones of non-autistic folk, only to have the mockery not seen for what it is and taken for a sincere attempt at being polite.

​@@lsmmoore1 you have to be careful with the use of toxic masculinity as a term. it is being used in schools to tell kids they shouldn't want to be active or confident in any way, while it may be a real thing people will always take it as you saying masculinity is by default toxic. Because some people are trying to say that. I guess what I am trying to say is its a fine term but its been used for bad too often to be taken seriously. Plus I don't necessarily agree that it is a fair representation of Zuko's full family dynamic. I don't even think he is autistic to be honest, there are many symptoms of autism that can be caused by an abusive family, and it can be hard for anyone to disagree with their family and nation all at once. especially growing up in schools telling you they are the best. Top that with being exiled by his father in head to head combat, just for speaking up about killing their own men. That is something a child would do autistic or not, when he was told in those schools how wrong that would be. His reactions make sense for anyone including if he was autistic, and he obviously develops anger issues either way. Something that was directly taught to him by his father. He then becomes hyper focused on the only thing that can undo all of that trauma, he just hasn't realized it's all a lie yet. Especially because anyone else would be practically racist toward him for being able to bend fire. Even his uncle keeps up the idea that he should continue his quest, until he sees the right moment to change his mind. Plus you have to realize his uncle had to change his own mind at some point, so he knows how it can be done. I'm not saying it would be bad or wrong for him to be autistic, I honestly think it's an interesting way to look at the character. Either way he is maybe the most compelling character in the series. Someone with mild schizophrenia could tell you there are similarities with him as well. and someone with bad schizophrenia might say some things about how Azula acts. I'm not the latter, so i'm not sure.

[@lsmmoore1]

@@jackman5840 I think you're getting your information on what is being taught in schools from biased sources, because I don't get the impression kids are actually being taught most of the claims about aspects of themselves being inherently bad that parents are being told they are (unless the teaching is that they are filthy sinners who need Jesus or that their neurodivergencies - i.e. autism - make them inherently bad). As for Zuko, a big reason why he is widely seen as autistic among autistic people is because of the fact that he seems to cling to Azula for social expertise all the time, even within his family. This stands out especially in a family where the overall level of social expertise (of the normal variety) is generally high, such that even its wisest man, Iroh, is a skilled manipulator when he needs to be (though Iroh is honest enough not to use those abilities all the time).

I was told I was evil in a Christian school for wanting long hair though. You have to see that its not everyone everywhere. But that term can be hurtful to people either way.

What’s amazing is that despite how differently humans and animals perceive things and often have ears and vocalizations tuned for different frequencies, we can still (roughly) understand eachother. Corvids and parrots mimicking human speech and other sounds and actively using those skills to interact with their environment, dogs learning commands (not just routines), cats adjusting their vocalizations to ones we can perceive vs hypersonic + often making a kinda pidgin unique to a cat-and-household and getting pretty amused if we mimic their sounds back at them (my cat actually bapped my face when I purred at her, then relaxed into cuddling vs clinging to me), or songbirds repeating and adjusting their calls if they hear a human whistling back to them Life uh.

I have a certain grudge against those who deceived me as a kid, making me think that pythons saw rainbows of colour like a thermal imaging camera, instead of what they actually perceive, which is more like regular eyesight plus the ability to *feel* where thermal energy is coming from, sort of like how I can feel a candle from close by, and tell where sound is coming from. So... first off, I don't like the assumption that sounds perceived by faster animals sound lower in pitch. It could very well simply be slower while still otherwise being perceived by them the same way as humans. That is, when translating the sound "as perceived by dogs", it could very well be more accurate to stretch the sound while maintaining frequency. Unless it's known already that it works otherwise, that is. Also, a higher cff doesn't necessarily mean a faster perception of time, though it does imply such. It could very well be similar to how human rod optical cells are more sensitive to motion and light, while the cones have a higher resolution and colour sensitivities. It could be that the higher cff animals can perceive small differences in time better, while still processing that information at the same perception speed as us. It doesn't seem very likely, but until someone comes out and says they've found that answer, I'd rather not assume. Easy example: does a human's cff get lowered when they take time-perception-altering drugs? Because I would think that that drunk people can still tell when a video is low framerate, but will still react and generally think slower than normal. I love these kinds of videos that get people thinking, but I don't like how simplified they can get.

I think it's one of the dumbest assertions I've seen made by an intelligent person. A two-hour movie is still a two-hour movie, whether it's projected at 24fps or 60fps. The greater "detail" would certainly allow the brain to process information more accurately, but not more quickly. The brain is still limited by the rate of neurons firing. And also there's always a trade-off, a brain becoming very good at one kind of task at the expense of other tasks, in a similar way that when humans are deprived of one of their senses, their other senses can become more sensitive. We're just talking about perception here, nothing else.

[@ClassyCrustatio]

Thats.... that's not how that works... 1. Humans actually see around o0 fps on average but it varies up and down depending on the person, their lifestyle, jib, etc. 2. Even if dogs see around 80 hertz/fps doesn't mean they perceived time more slowly. It just means they see more images a second. 60fps and 80 fps still happen over the corse of 1 second. Saying they see time move more slowly is only if you stretch that 80 to be in sync with 60... they percieve time at the exact same speed that we do, with the exception that they have no concept of time. Additionally, they would hear things more slowly either since sound wave travel at the same wave length and speed. If they heard things more slowly that would mean thier brain processes things more slowly and then presents them in a slowed manner. A dog may be able to see the flashing images on a screen but that doesn't mean they are watching something in slow motion. This is a great example of false equivalence.

[@bluerendar2194]

We actually *do* have a second-axis sound locating mechanism though - the ear shape. The slight temporal reflection differences give a basic locating mechanism - we can distinguish a sound from above vs below, front vs back, with pretty decent accuracy in most cases, at least enough to know where to look. Overall, it means a head-tilt is not so necessary. This is most obvious if you add in a putty insert, messing with the sound reflections, and compare a blindfolded test of this. SmarterEveryday ran a video about this some time ago.

I have tinnitus but also very good hearing despite this. I do tilt my head naturally when a sound is faint and especially to ascertain direction. I don't know if I always have done, or just since my tinnitus developed maybe 25 years ago.,

[@FallenAngelHiroko]

Also dogs are visual creatures (as in body language). Meaning they tilt their heads to better see our faces when we speak to them. A "double take" of sorts. There's more to it than that--I remember watching a video similar to this guy's--but that's the only part I remember. That said, I do a head tilt when I hear something faint. It's not necessarily for me to hear the sound better or determine the direction but rather to help me process what I'm hearing (Did I really hear something? What was that?). Kinda like how people look up when thinking.

I've developed the head swivel to locate sounds while working at an airport. You hear planes all the time taking off, idling, taxiing and I know what each sounds like. Crossing a taxiway in dense fog ,this came in handy as a large plane was crossing as well. I heard a light sound of the engines getting louder and chose to wait. About 10 seconds later a wing tip appeared in front of me. I also had a large plane sneak up on me out of nowhere, somehow, even after a 360 degree sight check. Heard the engines and slammed on the brakes. I also use this while driving. I can hear engines or tires on the interstate. I rotate my head slightly to locate where it is coming from and find a car in my blind spot. I find it safer to do that then rotate my whole head to see the car unless I am immediately changing lanes. What is more amazing is I can hear such things clearly while still having hearing damage from racing engines, gunshots, machinery and previously mentioned airplane engines.

Birds are surprisingly aware of differences in treatment they might receive relative to another animal, like a dog, for instance. If birds receive very unequal treatment relative to other animals in the home in terms of attention, or cannot join in on family (flock) life, they perceive this, and it breaks their very social hearts. If you can give them a stable, loving home in which they can be a full member, their companionship and loyalty will be returned with interest and exceed all else ❤️

I've always been told time "feels" faster as we age.. but is it unreasonable to think that it's not just a feeling, but an actual change to our perception and interpretation of time? I can tell you that a year in my mid 20s felt vastly different from a year in my early 30s in terms of time... And thats under very similar circumstances. Meanwhile, summer as a kid felt like forever. Or even counting the days until Christmas in anticipation and how long it seemed. Just thinking that it might not be life events, but actual shifts in perception... Very curious about this. As a kid, adult voices sounded deep, now kids voices sound squeaky. Adults move at a different pace in walking, kids run to get places.. meanwhile old people drive slow because it probably feels like the same speed they've always gone.. because their perception of time is different..

So the audio pitch may not be the same scale variation as the time. Also the thought of sun rising and falling with a "time" correction for us. If dogs notice time slower, 90 vs our 60hz, then their 12hrs of daylight feels like 18hrs. So if you leave them for 4hrs, it feels like 6hrs. Crazy!!

I respect this person's content and effort spent into creating this video, however I need to point out some false/misleading information regarding the perception of time in animals. The flashing light experiment (cff) does not experimentally verify anything about how an animal perceives time, or sound, or whatever else. That is completely speculative. There is a phenomenon called "persistance of vision" (search google) where an image shown on the retina will persist for a given amount of time after being removed, hence giving the illusion that a light is no longer blinking. All that the CFF experiments can VERIFY is the amount of time an image stays on an animals retina before removed, roughly given by the inverse of the flicker fusion rate in Hz. It is definitely "possible" that dogs can hear or experience sound slower than us, however that has never been experimentally verified. The CFF experiment would only be able to "verify" that something other than persistance of vision affects the CFF rate if you could somehow control for persistance of vision, which you can't. TL;DR you cannot verify that CFF rate has a relationship with perception of time/sound, as the extraneous variable of persistance of vision has not been controlled.

@@Jwellsuhhuh Yeah I was going to say. This only measure visual perceptivity, according to this methodology, a blind person would never experience time passing as their CFF would be 0. Hearing and Seeing are different perceptions with different frequencies, so this video is largely just insanely misleading.

I've always wondered if animals perceived/processed the world slower or faster than humans and found it fascinating that relative lifespans are more similar between species when this is taken into consideration. It's so awesome to see this explained tangibly and simulated through film/audio. I also discovered the fly catching trick on my own under this assumption!

[@tylertucker9460]

I swear, I about died from the cuteness of the duck loving the belly rubs. Very awesome and informative video! I was super curious about what a hummingbird’s perception was like, and then there it was!

[@CharliMorganMusic]

I was not surprised at all by that cats living in fast motion because I can almost always react to my cat faster than the other way around. My cat can definitely move faster than me, though.

[@alejandrogorostiza1197]

I bumped into this video and being the type that doesn't mind knowing a little of a WIDE variety of things and not being an expert in any of them I must thank you profoundly! This was incredibly interesting and best of all I didn't know ANY OF THIS before watching your video. Thanks again good sir! Keep up the great work😁👍🏾

[@Blueberry_Shortcake01]

take it with a grain of salt mate, most of what he said is theoretical to fake

[@kimberlykees9163]

Med too! I like to know something about everything!

[@BrownMInc]

Same here; even though a lot may have been very theoretical it's the first in a long time that I genuinely felt refreshed learning something new or atleast interesting ideas that could be adapted.

[@therizinosaurus214]

Now I am curious about this with birds that mimic sounds, particularly the the ones that reproduce the sound accurately

[@zhch]

If the sounds are going much slower, it would be easier to reproduce. Also, all they have to do is to reproduce the pitch as _they_ hear it, and it will sound right when _we_ hear it. When sound slows down its pitch gets lower, since the sound waves would have longer wavelengths. As this applies to all the sounds they hear, it means that everything is shifted downwards in pitch. So C -> B, B -> A etc.

[@tiffanyvalencia8415]

I don't think the laws of physics change from specie to specie nor human, esp during the same time period.

[@hailonyourparade]

I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a KZbin video this much! Love that slowing the ducks down to their perceived time dilation immediately made them recognizably more...dinosaur-like? Another example of plants being "aware of time/pressure": Venus fly traps! I'm glad you went through the effort of simulating a whole day night cycle for your littles though 😊

[@ManyArmedMooseDei]

What is particularly interesting is the exceptions in humans pertaining to psychology; autists, for example, can hear sounds of much higher and lower frequency than neurotypicals, as well as having sharper vision to a farther distance, greater perception of changes in ambient temperature, wind direction & speed, and the like, and various other perceptions far greater than neurotypicals. For example, the strobing and buzzing of incandescent lightbulbs, which is absolute sensory hell, or being able to hear bats echolocating at night, hear dog whistles, etc. we see, hear, smell, and otherwise perceive aspects, an entire world for that matter, that those with duller senses could not possibly comprehend. And yet we too are human.

[@graceslagle9240]

I've had a theory that in early human groups, the autists would naturally be the ones to keep watch for threats, especially at night.

[@pustulio81]

On a shutter speed note, when I was managing a movie theater we had an employee who had an issue with his vision that made it so he could see the flickering from the projectors shutter. He said it made it difficult, to near impossible, to watch a movie all the way through.

[@karmatosed7211]

Absolutely loving this newer theme of content! I can consume this type content endlessly. It’s a very good fit for you too, plus a scientific perspective (such as this one) on topics adjacent to or in relation to music/producing in some way is in general a refreshing change to the status quo. It’s also easy to see the attention paid to detail & research to ensure the info is accurate. I hope these are as fun to make as they are to watch, dang gj w/ it either way!

[@realstatistician]

That cat one is surprising. Cats have super fast reflexes, so it seems like everything would be slower to them. And how they can walk seemingly quickly over a chessboard without knocking over any pieces. Surprising.

10:34 not the bird saying “ yeet” 😂😂😂 i knew they can speak English in fast pitch

Nah dude it's saying yee like its dino ancestors😅

I think I still have a few questions about animal sound perception, as this video mainly focused on the time aspect of things, which is only one part of how we perceive sound. 1. If animals have a broader band of recognizable pitches, can they differentiate between them as easily as we can with our smaller range? 2. With the color spectrum we imagine that we all see the same frequencies as the same colors, but this is probably not the case for animals that can see much wider spectrums of colors. Do you think animals rearrange or recalibrate their sound spectrum to fit them? Perhaps their lowest note sounds the same as ours does to us, even if they are different frequencies. 3. Human audio spacialization relies on ILD (volume difference between ears) and ITD (timing difference between ears). We also use our face shape to help determining what's in front of or behind us. What advantages could different face shapes give animals, and do any animals use less or more ears to different effects? It would also be nice to know how much better at spacialization an animal might be if the ITD was easier to make out due to slower time perception. These are probably more easily answered by a philosopher than a scientist, and with a great deal less verifiability, but I would be curious to hear educated speculations or at least explorations of these kinds of ideas in the future.

[@awfuldynne]

I'm a layman, so none of my answers come from special knowledge other than "biology isn't magic" (I cannot express the frustration when it feels like _this_ is "special knowledge"), and they might not qualify as answers. 1. The differentiation between recognizable pitches is going to be a function of how differently two similar pitches affect the sound-detecting mechanisms in the ears (how distinct are the signals the ears send to the brain?) and how much of the brain's processing power is allocated to distinguishing pitch (how different do the signals from the ears need to be before the brain notices a difference?) 2. Imagining a human with a different time perception, because the structures of the ears have not been changed, the perceived pitches of sounds aren't affected. Animals will have a different sound sensitivity curve (or whatever you call the graph that indicates the quietest sound they can perceive at various pitches) and their brains will treat the sounds differently, but I think to the extent that perception can be compared, a sound's pitch is its pitch and doesn't actually need recalibration 3. I'm too stuck thinking about how much I don't know about echolocating bats to process and properly respond to this question. They hunt bugs, so I assume they've got a high "frame rate", and they need to pinpoint those insects in 3 dimensions, so they're going to be excellent at spacialization, at least for pitches similar to the sounds they use to echolocate. They also have interesting face shapes.

[@davidbryden7904]

As I understand it, many animals have a different range of color perception than humans.

[@hexmaniacgabby5160]

We need a part 2 😁

[@RVlivingcoast2coast]

Not to nit-pick, but since only the dog's 'perception' of sound is slower, and not the timing of the sound itself, they would not experience the pitch change that happens when you slow it down. They would perceive the sound slower, but at the same pitch.

[@GENERALTIM21]

playing the normal parts of the video at 0.5 and 0.75 speed gives you a rough idea of what a dog's perception of time/sound is, i think

[@RVlivingcoast2coast]

@@GENERALTIM21 Right, I'm just pointing out while slower, the sound won't change pitch. For example if I start tapping middle C on a piano, it would vibrate the air at about 264 Hz, it's that frequency that determines the pitch, and makes it a middle C. The air would still vibrate the dogs ear drums at 264 Hz, and still be a middle C, even while the dog might perceive my tapping as slower. But, when you slow a recording, you're slowing the Hz of the sound, and a middle C would no longer be a middle C, but converted to a lower pitch. Again, I'm just nit-picking, and the general premise may very well be correct.

This is my favorite video of yours, so I'm back to watch again now that I have a rescue cat! ❤
