Good animation of cochlea: http://www.youtube.com/user/destinedforglory

Cochlea The Cochlea, that organ responsible for feeling sound waves and translating their oscillation into a language action potentials comprehensible to our brains, is a complex pathway of tubes and cells that segregates a complex waveform by the frequency of its oscillations. As is demonstrated by the demo simulations available here, the cochlea's core function is feeding the sound signal to the basilar membrane, an elastic organ located in the Cochlea's turns, which, by varying its mechanical properties from one end to the other, breaks sound waves into their individual frequencies. The result of this biological signal processing is that the extrema of mechanical oscillations on the membrane represent peaks in the power of the frequency spectrum. Mathematically, the mechanical oscillation of the cochlea perform a sort of Fourier Transformation. But in order to make this biological signal processing possible, the cochlea must maintain electronic potential differences between its major ventricles, the scalar vestibule and the scalar tympani, and the minor ventricle, the scalar media. This electronic battery is essential because it allows receptor cells to operate at a much faster and more precise level than would otherwise be possible.

Hz = Herz = cps = cycles per second “ah ah ah ah” Hz = Herz = cps = cycles per second

Frequency The pitch of a speech sound is determined by the frequency of vocal-chord vibration. Frequency is usually measured in cycles per second (c.p.s) which are also called Hertz (Hz). Womens' voices can go up to 400 Hz; children's voices even higher. Average male voices range between 80 and 200 Hz

Waves In most languages, the term 'wave' originally refers to the surface movements of water (bølge, Welle, onde, volná, tonn, aalto, to give some European examples).

Waves Waves on water are a true example of natural waveforms, but it was not until the advent of electronic technology that we discovered that a large number of waveforms occur in the physical world.

Waves Many are on too small a scale to be experienced as waves (sound- and light-waves) while others are too large (earthquakes, weather & climactic patterns, tidal movements, seasonal patterns, planetary movements). It is in fact possible to analyse a variety of natural and human processes as wave patterns: heartbeats, brain activity, population studies, the market, influenza epidemics, traffic flows (whether or not this always produces a useful analysis is another question.)

Transverse and longitudinal waves þverbylgjur og lengdarbylgjur transverse: displacement across the direction of propogation longitudinal: displacement along the direction of propogation

Transverse waves to-and-fro movement (or oscillation) across the direction of propogation, either from side to side or up and down Sea waves are transverse waves: the surface of the sea moves up and down as the waves travel over it

Transverse waves If we use the data from this device to plot a graph showing the height of the sea above this stationary point on the sea-bed, we will get a picture in time which looks exactly the same as the spacial movement of the waves.

Longitudinal waves to-and-fro movement in the same direction as the direction of the wave. compression & rarifaction (þétting og þan) travel along the line of the wave-motion see the animation at ttp://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSCI/PHYS/Class/sound/eds.gif in http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSCI/PHYS/Class/sound/u11l2d.html

Longitudinal waves A graph of pressure changes at any one place plotted on a time axis looks like a transverse wave pattern

Longitudinal waves Sound waves in air are longitudinal waves, but they can be represented in this way as transverse waves x= eardrum / microphone

simple harmonic motion Sine waves Latin sinus 'a curve' regular frequencies simple harmonic motion pendulum tuning fork.

Sine waves Pure tones. When a soundwave is a pure sine-wave, we hear it as a pure tone. Soundwave of pure middle A, which is 440 Hz.

Reasons for difference: 1 phasing 2 intensities of formants Impossible to read the formants from the waveform. This problem is is overcome by Fourier analysis -- which finds the same formants although the the phasing is different. This comes a few slides down

periodic and aperiodic: complex soundwaves periodicity not as regular as pure tones, since each 'period' is slightly different from the previous one Human speech-sounds are not pure, but dynamic sounds: their frequency is continually changing, and so is the shape of the sound-wave.

Fourier analysis In December 1807, the French physicist and mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-830) read a memoir on "the propagation of heat in solids" at the French Institute. David A Keston www.astro.gla.ac.uk /~davidk/fourier.htm

Fourier analysis The mathematics behind this method of analysis are what are known today as the Fourier Series, a branch of calculus which can be used to calculate the pure sine wave components of a complex wave. The idea is that complex periodic waves can be broken down into a (sometimes very large) number of pure waves which when added together produce the complex wave.

Fourier analysis In linguistic acoustics, we find that different vowels have their own typical arrangements of components, which we call formants.

Complex waves Adding 2 sine equal waves: 41

The basic or fundamental frequency - usually referred to as F0, is the frequency of the greatest period, the complete repetitive cycle (= the GCD* of the frequencies of the component sine waves).This is the frequency we hear as pitch when we are working with intonation. *Greatest Common Demoninator: the largest number which divides into them all. This is true of fairly simple complex waves with only a few components. But a speech wave has thousands of component sine waves, and cycles do not repeat each other exactly. What we hear as the F0 is practically better defined as the most prominent cyclic repetition. It's not strictly computable.
