      I have – although it is quite difficult to explain what! This is one of the problems of being a scientist – a lot of what you do makes no sense to anyone 🙁

      Anyway – I am interested in how we learn to hear things and to distinguish between sounds. I have found that some of how this happens could be quite simple to explain although I have to do a lot more work to be sure.

      That is one of the other problems of being a scientist – you have to do a lot of work before you say anything because people will want to see your evidence 🙂
