The Maya of Audio Perception revealed using Holophony

Is what we see, hear, taste, smell and feel, a part of an existential reality? All scriptures corroborate the world being an interpretation of our sense perception. But to prove the whole Maya, Science is far from it's full potential. I feel scientists shouldn't even reach there, because we can't derive a significant meaning out of life otherwise.

For enthusiasts, I came across a petty, yet very interesting example of proving our illusive perception of sound. I love music and the sounds of nature... so Salutations and Hats off to the creator of human audio-perception. God, you bring lives to life!

Thanks to the 404 Creative Studios Blog for the data given below:

These super clear audio files are called holophony (holophonic sound recordings) and are designed to be listened to with headphones for the best effect. They have been recorded with a dummy head that has two microphones, one in each ear. The shape of the head and ears are designed to be similar to a human head to most closely replicate real human hearing. It’s pretty incredible.

Grab your headphones and have a listen. While the content itself isn’t that engaging, the sound effects will probably have you listening a second time.
