Audition

• The Sound Stimulus
  • Sound Basics.  Illustration of the sound stimulus.  Explore the effects of intensity and frequency on your perception of the sound and the various features of a sound wave, e.g, compression, rarefaction and phase. (Try Pure Tones from ISLE)
• Reception and Transduction
  • The Middle Ear.  See the working of the ossicles of the middle ear and how their motions depend upon the frequency of the sound. (Try The Middle Ear from ISLE)
  • The Cochlea.  An illustration of the function of the inner ear in response to sound stimuli. (Try The Travelling Wave from ISLE)
  • The Ear.  Observe the transmission of the sound stimulus through the ear. (Try The Basilar Membrane and Sound Stimuli from ISLE)
  • The Hair Cell and Transduction.  Observe how the sound stimulus affects the hair cell to cause transduction. (Try Transduction and Hair Cells from ISLE)
