The Speech-to-Song Illusion

The video explores the speech to song illusion, discovered by Diana Deitch in 1995. This phenomenon occurs when a spoken phrase, repeated multiple times, begins to sound like a song. Experiments demonstrate that this illusion highlights a strong connection between speech and music, showing that our auditory system can rapidly reorganize perception without changing the physical properties of the sound. This showcases short-term neuroplasticity in our auditory system.
