Document Summary
Weds | 5. 8. 19 receptive fields (in the retina) Frequency (hz): number of full waves per second. Complexity: for sounds containing 2 or more frequencies (i. e. , any natural sound), the distinct profile of amplitudes across frequencies. The timbre is the quality that distinguishes between two sounds that have the same loudness, pitch and duration but still sound different (e. g. , same not on a piano and violin) Why has auto-tune taken over the music industry: britney spears" best friend . Or if you want to sing in a robot voice. Inner ear: semicircular canals: maintenance of posture and balance, the cochlea: the structure transducing sound waves into electrical (neural) info. Two types of receptors: inner and outer hair cells: the hidden beauty of outer hair cells. In humans: ~3,500 inner hair cells, ~15,000 - 20,000 outer hair cells, hair cell has stereocilia (hair)
