Hypnosis could be quite beneficial for canceling those…

The purpose of our senses has to do with how our brain works with our body. All the senses in our body are created from the information that goes into the brain.

All these objectives go with what we do in our everyday lives. As a class we all experienced these senses as we went to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and experienced…

Before embarking on my soundwalk, I had a few basic expectations of sounds I would encounter, mostly based on prior memories of wandering MIT’s campus. I knew what the soft, low murmurs should sound like when traversing the corridors. I knew to expect the clip-clop of hard stepping walkers in the silent tunnels, and the high pitched buzzing and whining of electrical components overhead. Outside, the wind would make soft, mid pitched whuuu and shhh noises, which would serve as background for…
