This sounds important: Electrophysiological responses reveal a dedicated learning mechanism to process salient consonant sounds in human newborns - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
Isolating relevant sounds in the auditory stream is a crucial feat accomplished by human infants and a pivotal ability for language acquisition. It is therefore reasonable to postulate the existence of early mechanisms that reorient attention toward salient acoustic stimuli. Previous studies suggest that infants tend to allocate more attention to consonant sounds because they resemble human vocalizations. However, systematic evidence on the neural processes underlying consonance tuning in newbo…

Instead, a day after the leaders released the plan, which hews closely to a spending request the White House sent to Capitol Hill last month,
it became clear it is a product that no one really likes.
The measure, whic…

Britain’s biggest community solar project has been forced to shut for the duration of its first summer by the government’s energy system operator to avoid overloading the local grid with renewable energy.
The north Devon solar farm was ordered to shut weeks before record high temperatures across Europe
