Julian Treasure Summary

In this video excerpt Julian Treasure is presenting the idea that most people are losing their ability to listen. He also discusses how sound places us in space and time, and the importance of experiencing sound. He explains how we have expanded through different technological advances that have hindered one of our biological senses, our ability to listen. He argues that part of the reason for this is that our current society is so impatient, ready for a quick version, because we are continually distracted. He explains how our world is so noisy it becomes a tiresome task just to "listen," and explains how we fail to truly listen to each-other. Julian Treasure explains the importance of the problem with desensitization in the media.

I would say that I agree a lot with what Julian Treasure is presenting in this
Sound is a very important sense but it is not a required sense. Our neuron network dedicated to sound and parts of our brain that processes raw noise within our brains is merely 3%, while our vision and areas of our brain that processes vision is nearly 60% of our active neuron network. We have our primary and secondary auditory processing areas, but when it comes to vision we have our primary visual area, secondary visual area as well, however the key difference is that our brain uses nearly an additional 40% of active networks to process vision + touch, vision + motor function (hand eye), vision+ attention, vision + spacial recognition and vision + spacial navigation. Our optic nerves, which connect to our retinas, contain millions of fibers and a direct outgrowth from our brain. Our auditory nerves have a mere 30,000 in comparison. When it comes to the idea that any of our senses shape our reality from a anatomy perspective, it would be hard to argue that it is not primarily and directly vision that moves us through space, time, and what forms our
