Dissonance Diaries: Colorful Dissonance
Today's Entry:
A study has found that the average human ear can detect 32 different colors. But did you know that the average human brain can detect 17 different types of dissonance?
- Aural dissonance: when the sound of a dripping faucet and your neighbor's cat meowing at the same time.
- Spectral dissonance: when you're trying to watch a movie and a beam of light from the window highlights all the imperfections in your skin.
- Visual dissonance: when your art teacher tells you to "think outside the box" but you're not even sure what that means.
