People who lose the thread of a conversation during a noisy cocktail party might be dealing with problems detecting rapid changes in sound.

How do we understand words? Scientists don’t fully understand what happens when a word pops into your brain. What is embodied cognition?

Horses, pigs and wild horses can distinguish between negative and positive sounds from their fellow species and near relatives and humans.

Fish are far more likely to communicate with sound than generally thought—and some fish have been doing this for at least 155 million years.
