auditory transmission
1Auditory neuropathy — is a variety of hearing loss in which the outer hair cells within the cochlea are present and functional, but sound information is not faithfully transmitted to the auditory nerve and brain properly. A neuropathy simply refers to a disease of the …
2Auditory brainstem response — The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is an auditory evoked potential extracted from ongoing electrical activity in the brain and recorded via electrodes placed on the scalp. The resulting recording is a series of vertex positive waves of which I …
3Microwave auditory effect — The microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect, consists of audible clicks induced by pulsed/modulated microwave frequencies. The clicks are generated directly inside the human head without the need… …
4Evolution of mammalian auditory ossicles — The evolution of mammalian auditory ossicles is one of the most well documented[1] and important evolutionary events, demonstrating both numerous transitional forms as well as an excellent example of exaptation, the re purposing of existing… …
5animal communication — Transmission of information from one animal to another by means of sound, visible sign or behaviour, taste or odour, electrical impulse, touch, or a combination of these. Most animal communication uses sound (e.g., birds calling, crickets… …
6ear, human — ▪ anatomy Introduction organ of hearing and equilibrium that detects and analyzes noises by transduction (or the conversion of sound waves into electrochemical impulses) and maintains the sense of balance (equilibrium). The human ear, like …
7Neuroprosthetics — (also called neural prosthetics) is a discipline related to neuroscience and biomedical engineering concerned with developing neural prostheses. Neural prostheses are a series of devices that can substitute a motor, sensory or cognitive modality… …
8nervous system, human — ▪ anatomy Introduction system that conducts stimuli from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord and that conducts impulses back to other parts of the body. As with other higher vertebrates, the human nervous system has two main… …
9Neuronal encoding of sound — The neuronal encoding of sound is the representation of auditory sensation and perception in the nervous system. This article explores the basic physiological principles of sound perception, and traces hearing mechanisms from sound as pressure… …
