| there are two reasons for this..... | Mr.Crud

Secondly, during the day, there is always some background noise. You dont even notice it because since it's always there, the brain shuts it down. At night however, this noise goes down quite a bit, so your brain doesnt need to ignore this noise. Consequence of this, you hear better.
Well, i hope i answered your question in the simplest way!!

Not to nit pick but this is actually NOT correct. A person relies on the sense more ... but they are not better. Blind people don't hear better than anyone else. Psychology 4rth Edition - Myers, David,G. - Or look it up in your local university psychology text.
Much of things in psychology regarding senses are being readressed...this is one of them. |

Nov 30, 2001 11:17 AM | | I'd say it is because you are soley focusing on the music rather than on everything else going on around you. It allows your imagination to take over and place the band in relation to where the soundstage is. |

I also think, that if your system is good enough, the speakers will literally dissapear into the room. When the lights are off, and you cant even see them..it sounds less and less like a stereo. |

Nov 30, 2001 9:02 PM | | According to Professor Irwin Corey. "The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound". Therefore the sound has to travel through the light before it gets to you. With the lights out, it travels to your ears without obstruction. "I'm Blinded By Science". |
| Sensory bandwidth. | JimStephens
Dec 1, 2001 3:29 AM | | The brain works just like a computer connected to a network. The senses are other computers providing input to the brain computer, and all the senses share the brain "bandwidth" as it were. So, when you take one sense "off line", the bandwidth that was previously used by that sense is now available for the other senses. Ergo, by closing one's eyes or listening in the dark, more of the brain's processing power is available to the ears, so resolution of the ears increases, and hearing becomes more acute. It works in other ways, too. For example, closing your eyes to smell a delicious aroma, or turning off the radio in the car when you're looking for an unfamiliar address. In both examples you've turned off input from one sense, to allow the sensory input bandwidth to be used on the remaining ones. Of course, I may be talking out my arse, but it sounds like a viable theory. |
