I'm curious if there is an analogue for the black-blue/gold-white dress. I always saw it as black and blue (which it turned out to be), and held the consious beliefs that "this clearly is an overexposed photo" and "the black and blue color combo is something quite common while I've barely ever seen any gold and white clothing". I wonder if holding those beliefs can have an influence on the unconcious processing of the visual information. Similarly, for this clip, Laurel is a name (and also otherwise a word) that I've heard quite a few times in my live, while I've never heard Yanny neither as a name nor a regular word.

  20 years ago, I liked Yanni enough to see him in concert, maybe thats why I heard only Yanny for days (though I pronounce them differently). Once I heard Laurel, I haven't been able to hear Yanny since. I don't know what caused me not to be able to listen to Yanni anymore though.
