Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 52
In Dr. Artwohl's research, 85 percent of the individuals she interviewed experienced diminished sound, but for 16 percent, the sound of gunshots was intensified. Under what circumstance would the brain choose to shut down the eyes and turn on the ears? In low-light conditions. This is because, again, the brain focuses on the salient stimulus, and in the dark the salient stimulus is sound.
