An audio stimulation experiment analyzed the ways in which frequency combinations and auditory beats affect the perception of time. Evidence of group wisdom regarding difference frequencies was derived by averaging the retrospective time estimates of groups who listened to three minutes of various sine wave combinations. A difference of 14 cycles per second in carrier frequencies corresponded to differences of 14 seconds between the average time estimates of groups who heard the two carrier frequencies. Groups thereby “perceived” the difference between two carrier frequencies when no individual heard more than one carrier frequency and no individual communicated with any other individual. This new phenomenon of group wisdom, here identified as omnaural perception, corresponded to basic patterns in EEG data from each group. Omnaural perception was evident in sets of groups even when individuals heard different rates of auditory beats. Omnaural perception also occurred for groups regardless of whether auditory beats were produced monaurally or binaurally for each individual. Indirect applications of this research involve the development of frequency combinations which can lead to an increase the perceived speed of time.
