Rorschach Audio considers the subject of public interest in allegedly supernatural so-called Electronic Voice Phenomena in the light of anecdotal reports and formal experimental studies ofrelated aspects of auditory perception. Electronic Voice Phenomena are a class of allegedly 'mysterious' vocal recordings, which the majority of EVP researchers believe constitute physical evidence of contact with the afterlife. In other words, EVP researchers believe that it is possible, using various radio and electrical engineering techniques, to record voices of ghosts. Edison and Marconi believed in the possibility that radio might enable contact with the afterlife, and EVP researchers feel that retrospectively ``recruiting'' such eminent scientists lends their research a degree of scientific credibility that others would argue it simply does not deserve. One of many paradoxes of EVP is that enthusiasts also believe their research is 'scientific' because they know that the evidence they present in support of their claims is genuinely real, and because the observations that they report are descriptions of that which they really believe they have experienced.Drawing on both anecdotal and academic sources, the researcher has amassed a great deal of outstanding material detailing other acoustic illusions, related to those discussed in Rorschach Audio. This material will be included in the documentation of the project.The project will explore the relationship between auditory and visual illusions in the context of the perception by the viewer/listener of artistic performance and installation.The project will explore the possibilities of modelling the illusory perception of these phenomena in the musical context, with a view to understanding them and perception in general more fully.

罗夏音频根据传闻报道和听觉感知相关方面的正式实验研究，考虑了公众对所谓超自然的所谓电子声音现象的兴趣。电子声音现象是一类所谓的“神秘”录音，大多数EVP研究人员认为这是与来世接触的物理证据。换句话说，EVP的研究人员认为，利用各种无线电和电气工程技术，记录鬼魂的声音是可能的。爱迪生和马可尼相信无线电有可能使人与来世接触，而EVP的研究人员认为，回顾性地“招募”这些杰出的科学家，会给他们的研究带来一定程度的科学可信度，而其他人则认为这是不应该的。EVP的许多悖论之一是，狂热者也相信他们的研究是“科学的”，因为他们知道他们提出的支持他们主张的证据是真正真实的，因为他们报告的观察结果是他们真正相信自己经历过的描述。根据轶事和学术资料，研究人员积累了大量优秀的材料，详细介绍了其他与罗夏音频中讨论的有关的声音错觉。这些材料将包含在项目文件中。该项目将在艺术表演和装置的观众/听众感知的背景下探索听觉和视觉错觉之间的关系。该项目将探索在音乐背景下对这些现象的错觉感知建模的可能性，以期更全面地理解它们和感知。
