LAPC Sensory Interaction in Music Discussion

Have you ever noticed how food tastes bland when you have a stuffy nose? Or, perhaps you go to a concert and the sound is magnified by an interactive light show.

In this chapter, we are exploring perception, which often entails sensory interaction, the notion that our understanding of the environment can be affected by the relationship between two or more senses.

For this discussion, describe your own example of sensory interaction (and be sure to use a different example than the ones I described above). Discuss which senses were involved in your experience, and how the notion of a “perceptual set” was involved.
