sequencia de processamento de som
transformation, integration, interpretation
transformation
transformation the time-varying acusticmsignal into a perceptual representation
integration
combining the extracted information with information from memory and semantic to create an abstract representation
interpretation
interpretation of the abstract to guide the categorical decisions that determine behavior
nature of sound
motion or vibration transferred to the surrounding as pressure waves, quizzed and starched
frequency
hz, sound pitch
amplitude
decibeis, loudness
spectpgram
vidual representation of the spectrum of frequencias of a signal as it varies with time
timbre
quality of sound that enables us to distuinsh sounds from different instruments
outer ear
collects sounds and trasfers them to the eardrum
middle eat
amplification converts airbone vibrations to liquid-borne vibrations
inner ear
converts liquid-borne sounds into neural impulses
cochlea
part of the inner ear that converts the liquid-borne sounds to eletric impulses. done by hair cell in the basilar membrane
basilar membrane
separates sounds into their basic frequencies. it has tonotopic organization
tonotopic organization
different parts of the basilar membrane are sensitive to different frequencies of the sound, sounds that are close to each other in their frequency are represented by spatially close neurons
