More than half the brain is devoted to processing sensory information, and the brain itself consumes roughly one-fourth of one's metabolic resources.
Note that, given the logarithmic characteristics of Hz, for both music and speech perception results should not be reported in Hz but either as percentages or in STs (5 Hz between 20 and 25 Hz is very different from 5 Hz between 2000 and 2005 Hz, but an ~18.9% or 3 semitone increase is perceptually the same size difference, regardless of ...
Alignable differences contrast with nonalignable differences which are aspects of one concept that have no correspondence in the other. For example, cars have seatbelts and motorcycles do not. Research suggests that alignable differences have a larger impact on people's judgments of similarity than do nonalignable differences.
