| Jul 11, 2017 at 15:55 | comment | added | Asher | The ripple analogy is interesting because if you have several wave sources in a pond, they overlap but are still traceable. Our brains don't process sight and sound the same way so it would be hard to watch a busy pond and pinpoint every wave source, but the information is there. Likewise with sound waves, the individual waves interfere in linear ways (within reason) so our brains can process the information and determine different sounds from different sources. | |
