The Phenomenon of Temporal Induction in Speech

The video explores how the brain compensates for missing sounds through temporal induction, specifically the phonemic restoration effect. Richard Warren's experiment demonstrates how a cough can mask missing phonemes, yet listeners perceive a complete sentence. The neurological basis involves the thalamus and auditory cortex, highlighting top-down processing. The video also draws parallels between auditory and optical illusions, emphasizing the brain's ability to fill in gaps in sensory information.
