Sona: Space dedicated to listening practices designed by Épico Studio

Sona is a space conceived specifically for the practice of listening. This location was designed by Épico Estudio in collaboration with Panorama.

Located in the center of Mexico City, specifically in the Condesa neighborhood, Sona has a total area of 245 square meters. The space is promoted by a collective of friends led by Luis López (Lulo).

Sona's philosophy focuses on sonic immersion, establishing clear rules to ensure this experience: electronic devices, alcohol consumption, or any type of distraction are not permitted. The project's intention is to elevate the simple act of listening into an experience that is conscious, intentional, shared, and above all, intensely sensory.

The project faced the challenge of accommodating an extensive architectural program within a small plot while maintaining a direct visual connection with the surrounding natural environment.

Dado Castello Branco commented that integrating such a comprehensive program into a limited space represented a significant obstacle for the design team.

Researchers trained a neural network on audio recordings of infants' linguistic environment

American scientists have succeeded in training a language model developed using audio recordings covering the first thousand days of infants' linguistic environment.

A key factor ensuring the successful training of the model was the multiple repetition of words heard by the infants, as well as the practice of revisiting listened materials at the end of the day. This approach helped achieve successful information consolidation, which aligns with existing theories on learning and memory processes.

The results of this study were officially published in the scientific journal Science.
