9.1: The Ear and Perception

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

We look at how the ear turns vibrations into the perception of sound. Some of the exact details of this process are still not completely understood but the general picture of how we hear is fairly well established. Once again we will see that the human hearing mechanism gives us experiences that do not correspond exactly to laboratory measurements.
