Document Summary
A dynamic and integrated process that combines information from sense organs with memories of past experiences, expectations of likely future actions, attention, motivation, and context. Today specifically, the sense organ related to auditory information the ear. Like other sense organs, will integrate sensory information with memories, etc. to understand the world around us . Clapping your hands at a specific point in time, causes air to be displaced which will create sound waves from that location up until your ear (but can obviously travel further). The air will come to the outer ear the pinna. It will travel through the ear canal to reach the tympanic membrane of the middle ear. This will vibrate, by consequence pushing onto three tiny bones called ossicles. These bones will move and knock on the cochlea. Once the bones push on the cochlea, fluid within it will begin to move. There is a structure called the basilar membrane, and there are hair cells there.
