Auditory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, searchAuditory means of or relating to the process of hearing:
- Auditory system The folds of cartilage surrounding the ear canal are called the pinna. Sound waves are reflected and attenuated when they hit the pinna, and these changes provide additional information that will help the brain determine the direction from which the sounds came, the neurological structures and pathways of sound perception.
- Sound Sound is a travelling wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing and of a level sufficiently strong to be heard, or the sensation stimulated in organs of hearing by such vibrations, the physical signal perceived by the auditory system.
- Hearing (sense) Hearing is one of the traditional five senses. It is the ability to perceive sound by detecting vibrations via an organ such as the ear. The inability to hear is called deafness, is the auditory sense, the sense by which sound is perceived.
- Ear The ear is the organ that detects sound. The vertebrate ear shows a common biology from fish to humans, with variations in structure according to order and species. It not only acts as a receiver for sound, but also plays a major role in the sense of balance and body position. The ear is part of the auditory system, the auditory end organ.
- Cochlea The cochlea is the auditory portion of the inner ear. Its core component is the Organ of Corti, the sensory organ of hearing, which is distributed along the partition separating fluid chambers in the coiled tapered tube of the cochlea, the auditory branch of the inner ear.
- Auditory illusion An auditory illusion is an illusion of hearing, the aural equivalent of an optical illusion: the listener hears either sounds which are not present in the stimulus, or "impossible" sounds. In short, audio illusions highlight areas where the human ear and brain, as organic, makeshift tools, differ from perfect audio receptors, sound trick analogous to an optical illusion.
- Primary auditory cortex The primary auditory cortex is the region of the brain that is responsible for processing of auditory information. It is located on the temporal lobe, and performs the basics of hearing; pitch and volume, the part of the higher-level of the brain that serves hearing.
- External auditory meatus, the ear canal The ear canal , is a tube running from the outer ear to the middle ear. The human ear canal extends from the pinna to the eardrum and is about 26 mm in length and 7 mm in diameter
- Auditory scene analysis In psychophysics, auditory scene analysis is the process by which the human auditory system organizes sound into perceptually meaningful elements. The term was coined by psychologist Albert Bregman. The related concept in machine perception is computational auditory scene analysis (CASA), which is closely related to source separation and blind, the process by which a scene containing many sounds is perceived
- Auditory phonetics Auditory phonetics is a branch of phonetics concerned with the hearing of speech sounds and with speech perception, the science of the sounds of language
- Auditory imagery In psychology and neuropsychology, auditory imagery is the subjective experience of hearing in the absence of auditory stimulation. It occurs when one mentally rehearses telephone numbers, or has a song "on the brain": the phenomenon is usually defined to be spontaneous ; it can be distressing. Auditory imagery is used by, hearing in head in the absence of sound
