Sensation and perception iii: the other senses: overview. How the structure of our auditory system affects the way we interpret the world around us: describe the auditory system from ear to cortex, describe how sounds waves are translated by our auditory system into psychological characteristics. Topic 2: the neural coding of pitch, timbre, and loudness, and spatial location of sound. How the brain creates meaning from our sensation of sound. Explain how the physical characteristics of sound are perceived by our brain. How the structures of our olfactory and gustatory systems affect the way we interpret the world: describe how chemical signals are translated by our olfactory and gustatory senses into psychological characteristics. Explain how the chemical senses work together and the relationship among the olfactory system, our emotions and our memories. Sound is a wave molecules to become compressed into local regions of increased (high) pressure, and rarefied in local regions of decreased (low) pressure.
