Descending control...

At the neural level, it is clear that our ability to hear is anything but objective. There is a huge component of descending control that shapes the incoming signal before it reaches the auditory cortex. We can tune our hearing quite precisely to hear what we want to hear. Much of this is done unconsciously, but the end result is that we don't hear objectively--all incoming auditory signals are colored or biased by higher brain structures before the signals reach those structures.
