(pitch, volume etc.) This appears on both sides of the brain, meaning you’re
able to hear more than one thing at a time.
2. The Broca/Wernicke network which comprehends incoming sounds. This
only appears on one side of the brain, meaning information collected through
both sides of your brain – through the auditory cortex – eventually gets
funnelled to this one place. So you can listen to the lyrics of a song that’s
playing on the radio and hear the words your friend is saying to you, but you
can only comprehend one.
3. The left inferior frontal gyrus which takes this bottleneck of information and
determines which part to block out and which part to send through the Broca/
Wernicke network.
