Vol. 10 - Sound and living being

Volume 10

Special issue about Sound and Living Beings

Sound is a mechanical vibration of a fluid, which propagates thanks to the elastic deformation of this fluid in the form of longitudinal waves. Human beings, like many animals, experience this vibration through the sense of hearing. This special issue of JIMIS will discuss the various recent discoveries concerning sound: what is the physical nature of sounds and what are the different types of sounds? How to produce a sound? What makes a sound different from a noise? How are sounds spread? How do we perceive them and how do other animals perceive them? Which sounds refer to which representations? How can we improve or restore our perception of sound when it is defective? What sounds can help the visually impaired to move without hindrance in geographical space? Are there any auditory illusion or hallucinations? Do plants perceive sounds? How does music, through sound, vibrations, rhythms, the memory of melodies, exert multiple effects on our body, our brain and our emotions? How can it heal, by passive listening or by playing it, and even induces modified states of consciousness, and allow us to socialize?
