Sound is a pressure wave Figure by MIT OCW. After figure 11.1 in: Bear, Mark F., Barry W. Connors, and Michael A. Paradiso. Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain. 2nd ed. Baltimore, Md.: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, ISBN: Speed of sound ft/sec mi/hr

Figure by MIT OCW. After figure 11.3 in: Bear, Mark F., Barry W. Connors, and Michael A. Paradiso. Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain. 2nd ed. Baltimore, Md.: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, ISBN:

The middle ear Figure by MIT OCW. After figure 11.5 in: Bear, Mark F., Barry W. Connors, and Michael A. Paradiso. Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain. 2nd ed. Baltimore, Md.: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, ISBN:

Impedance matching Fluid in cochlea has higher impedance than air : reflection could be a problem. Pressure at the cochlea is amplified relative to pressure at the eardrum Force = pressure x area Work = force x distance

The cochlea is a Fourier analyzer Input –Pressure Output –Auditory nerve fibers –Each fibers is selective for sounds of a characteristic frequency

Pure tones Figure by MIT OCW. After figure 11.2 in: Bear, Mark F., Barry W. Connors, and Michael A. Paradiso. Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain. 2nd ed. Baltimore, Md.: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, ISBN:

Frequency tuning analogous to visual receptive field,with frequency playing the role of space Figure by MIT OCW. After figure in: Bear, Mark F., Barry W. Connors, and Michael A. Paradiso. Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain. 2nd ed. Baltimore, Md.: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, ISBN:

Fourier analysis and synthesis Any signal can be written as a sum of sine waves. Any sound is a combination of pure tones.

Power spectrum Graph of power versus frequency.

Spectrogram Power spectrum as a function of time. Power versus frequency and time.

Critical bands through masking Detection of pure tone depends on bandwidth of masking noise only if it is narrower than a critical value The critical value corresonds roughly to the width of frequency tuning of auditory nerve fibers
