The Brain and Spatial Listening

How We Decode the Direction of Sound

Our ability to tell where a sound is coming from is one of the most sophisticated feats of human perception. The brain compares timing, volume, and filtering cues to construct a 3D “map” of sound.

  • ITD and ILD are most useful for side-to-side localisation.
  • HRTF cues allow us to sense sounds above or below, and in front or behind.
  • Visual and contextual cues are often combined with auditory ones, which is why spatial sound is more convincing with headphones or VR.

 


Health implications:

Immersive sound can enhance brain entrainment by engaging multiple sensory pathways at once. When the brain perceives sound “moving” in space, it can increase focus, shift attention, and deepen relaxation - similar to the grounding effect of mindfulness meditation.

 


Application in MyReset:

MyReset’s adaptive frequencies, enhanced with spatial depth, encourage the brain to enter a state of sensory synchrony, combining focus and calmness. This makes the listening experience not only pleasant but also neurologically supportive.

 

How to FEEL MyReset Soundscapes

Feeling the sound

People often feel sound in their bodies through the MyReset Soundscapes. Every person is unique, so your experience will vary - and your body adapts to the music in real time, depending on what you need.

Do you like it, and what do you feel?

FIRST USE: Listen to each track for 10–30 seconds and note your response:
1. I love it 2. I’m neutral 3. I dislike it OR Download your "Feel the Music Test" 

Note where you feel the sound in your body - this area is responding and adjusting to restore balance.

What it means

Love it - You’re close in resonance; continue listening to deepen balance.
Neutral - You’re balanced in this area.
Dislike - This Soundscape is what you most need; either listen immediately, or start with preferred tracks, and return later for a deeper reset when more comfortable.
