  2. Frequency format hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_format_hypothesis

    An explanation given as to why people choose encounter frequency is that in the case of frequencies, the subjects are given vivid descriptions, while with probabilities only a dry number is given to the subject. [19] Therefore, in the case of frequency, subjects are given more recall cues. This could in turn mean that the frequency encounters ...

  3. Hypersonic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_effect

    It is a common understanding in psychoacoustics that the ear cannot respond to sounds at such high frequency via an air-conduction pathway, so one question that this research raised was: does the hypersonic effect occur via the "ordinary" route of sound travelling through the air passage in the ear, or in some other way?

  4. List of psychic abilities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_psychic_abilities

    Clairvoyance – The ability to see things and events that are happening far away and locate objects, places, and people using a sixth sense. Dowsing – The ability to locate water, sometimes using a tool called a dowsing rod. [10] Dermo-optical perception – The ability to perceive unusual sensory stimuli through the skin.

  5. Availability heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Availability_heuristic

    One simplifying strategy people may rely on is the tendency to make a judgment about the frequency of an event based on how many similar instances are brought to mind. In 1973, Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman first studied this phenomenon and labeled it the "availability heuristic".

  6. Frequency illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion

    The main cause behind frequency illusion, and other related illusions and biases, seems to be selective attention. Selective attention refers to the process of selecting and focusing on selective objects while ignoring distractions. [5] [6] [7] This means that people have the unconscious cognitive ability to filter for what they are focusing on.

  7. Orders of magnitude (frequency) - Wikipedia

    Acoustic – the typical upper limit of adult human hearing 17.4 kHz: Acoustic – a frequency known as the Mosquito, which is generally only audible to those under the age of 24. 25.1 kHz Acoustic – G 10, the highest pitch sung by Georgia Brown, who has a vocal range of 8 octaves. 44.1 kHz: Common audio sampling frequency: 10 5: 100 kHz: 740 kHz

  8. Microwave auditory effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect

    The microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect, consists of the human perception of sounds induced by pulsed or modulated radio frequencies. The perceived sounds are generated directly inside the human head without the need of any receiving electronic device.

  9. Theta wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_wave

    In cats and rabbits, the frequency range is lower (around 4–6 Hz), and theta is less strongly associated with movement than in rats. In bats, theta appears in short bursts associated with echolocation. In humans, hippocampal theta rhythm has been observed and linked to memory formation [4] [5] and navigation. [6]
