World Science Festival
We look around us—constantly. But how often do we listen around us? Sound is critically important to our bodies and brains, and to the wider natural world. In the womb, we hear before we see. Join John Schaefer, Jamshed Bharucha, Christopher Shera, the Danish sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard and multi-instrumentalists Polygraph Lounge for a fascinating journey through the nature of sound. How we perceive it, how it acts upon us and how it profoundly affects our well-being—including a demonstration of sounds produced by sources as varied as the human inner ear and the creation of the universe itself.
The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.

Skip to 8:40 for conversation you're here for…hate to dothat, but why waste our time with that rot?
Wow … but sir .. i heard a buzz is that my ear sound ? ..
This alarm business at the start is exhausting, those are the sounds of irritation and evil!
This video brought me to my knees.
One of the shittiest of all times.
Whew, thankfully I only lost two minutes of my life there. Stopped in time.
Looool!! I can't believe how impatient people are! All these haters talking about polygraph lounge clearly couldn't just wait for the rest of the panel to start talking… I'm sure this talk is weird for ANYBODY at first but by the end of it you are left in awe of vibration
brovo!!!!! what a lecture, panel, program….illustration of vibration….thankyou so very much
Omg these guys at the start are so crazy haha
What a great discussion and such perfectly choreographed! Delighted that these sounds found me tonight.
Awesome to learn from these different perspectives of sound
They always have too many guest speakers.
I tune pianos (25years) They missed a little on the beginning sound wave section,
( although not much, and it may have only confused most ). But the Guy from UV Charlottesville blew my mind with all that knowledge on our ear ! Outstanding lesson! I wonder what Jacob listens to in the car ?
Sound science to sound brain across the distance seeing reflecting polygraph lounge. Holy! @!
Really interesting first time i heard this information. Thank you.
Wow! Awesome stuff, one can venture into many avenues of study from this.
This balding neurologist guy in the blue shirt is my new hero. I just uttered out lout, "man this guy is a genius" and then he started talking about tone-codes for emotions, which is something I've been personally thinking about recently. I was not surprised to hear negative emotions had a tonal code, but I was surprised to find out happy emotions did not! I want to read that paper!
Thanks for those explanations i bet it's nice to participates in your fields.
This is terrible
Everybody; this is awesome. Thank you so much for uploading this!
Recommended by the person with whom we are working on a cymatics project together. What is she thinking? I listen all the time. Live in the country where there are lots of sounds that are stimulating and delightful. This is boring. 25 and out of here!
