The skin can listen
 Thanks to our skin can register inaudible air blowers, issued by the person you are talking - the researchers from Canada in the journal Nature. The authors argue the discovery that when we listen to someone speaking to us, we use not only the audiovisual information. For full acceptance speech addressed to us also use incentives as a gentle gust of air generated by the caller.


During the pronunciation of some sounds of our paragraph escapes small, inaudible gusts of air. They are so called. sounds aspiration aspirated or otherwise (eg, syllables such as "pa", "ta"), and the pronunciation of others such as "ba" "da" is not. Bryan Gick, together with colleagues from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver found that referral of short, gentle gust of air on the hands or neck, skin changes the perception of heard syllables. During experiments with volunteers when syllables like "ba" and "da" was presented simultaneously with the blast of air was perceived as their counterparts aspiration - "pa" and "ta". According to the authors' research shows that while talking to the proper reception of information, sense of touch work together along with the sense of hearing. The researchers stress that progress in our understanding of speech perception can be helpful in the development of audio equipment, and telecommunications in particular for persons with hearing impairments.
