eli5 How does the brain separate out frequencies it’s hearing so that we can make out different instruments in a song? It seems like some insanely complex analysis behind the scenes??

Our brain is doing something that we call Fourier Transform. It is designed to compute the frequencies that the sound consists of. FT is quite time consuming for the computers, but our brain evolve troughout millions of years to do it apparently quickly.
