eyes – good for recognizing patterns
ears – good for recognizing time, continuum: good at TEMPORAL (time) RESOLUTION –> SPATIAL RESOLUTION

We have a super accurate temporal resolution in our brains. We can hear auditory spacing with much more distinction than with visual
- eg. Amanda cox: alpine skiing

chordal structure – very good at knowing when two things happen at once. In visual form, it’s much harder to separate, but auditorily? we can do it with ease
- eg. Brain blues

dangers of sonification – easy to make things seem like a pattern when there isn’t. You need to make sure you’re playing something from the data and not just fromt he musical scale
- eg. ToneMatrix
