Many<unk> s, particularly of music and of speech, result from hearing sound patterns that are highly probable, even though they are heard incorrectly. This is due to the influence of our knowledge and experience of many sounds we have heard. In order to prevent hearing echo created by perceiving multiple sounds coming from different spaces, the human auditory system relates the sounds as being from one source. However, that does not prevent people from being fooled by<unk> s. Sounds that are found in words are called embedded sounds, and these sounds are the cause of some<unk> s. A person's perception of a word can be influenced by the way they see the speaker's mouth move, even if the sound they hear is unchanged. For example, if someone is looking at two people saying "far" and "bar", the word they will hear will be determined by who they look at. If these sounds are played in a loop, the listener will be able to hear different words inside the same sound. People with brain damage can be more susceptible to<unk> s and they can become more common for that person.
