=== Auditory perception === The organization of the human auditory cortex is divided into core, belt, and parabelt. This closely resembles that of present-day primates. The concept of auditory perception resembles visual perception very similarly. Our brain is wired to act on what it expects to experience. The sense of hearing helps situate an individual, but it also gives them hints about what else is around them. If something moves, they know approximately where it is and by the tone of it, the brain can predict what moved. If someone were to hear leaves rustling in a forest, the brain might interpret that sound as being an animal which could be a dangerous factor, but it would simply be another person walking.<ref name=Barrett-2020/> The brain can predict many things based on what it is interpreting, however, those predictions may not all be true.
