Just a note to say that as I was looking out of the window on the train home
yesterday evening, I saw lots of trees flash by very quickly, and I did
actually think for a moment that I could see some MPEG2 artefacts on the
window "probably caused by low bitrate"..
Oh dear. Is there any therapy available for this? :)
I have spent so much time staring at video footage while tweaking de-interlacers I can often see
interlacing artefacts and jittery movement where a "normal" person can't, but only on video screens
and not in the real world ;p)
Along the lines of what you are saying, I have spent so much time listening to and studying lossy
compressed music I can often hear artifacts where in fact there are none. I'm beginning to fear some
form of programmed hearing damage (Not physical but psycholgical). Having said that I can pick an
mp3 at 100 paces with one hand tied behind my back. Perhaps my hearing has becomed super attuned to
phase variations and other colouring of sounds that normally we don't process.
I am worried that continued exposure to lossy compression (video and audio) has the potential to
alter the way our brains process sensory information as we become optimised to processing this kind
of input.
