Flourish: Live an Inspired Life
Education
Hearing allows us to perceive the world of acoustic vibrations all around us, and provides us with our most important channels of communication. This module reviews the basic mechanisms of hearing, beginning with the anatomy and physiology of the ear and a brief review of the auditory pathways up to the auditory cortex. An outline of the basic perceptual attributes of sound, including loudness, pitch, and timbre, is followed by a review of the principles of tonotopic organization, established in the cochlea. An overview of masking and frequency selectivity is followed by a review of the perception and neural mechanisms underlying spatial hearing. Finally, an overview is provided of auditory scene analysis, which tackles the important question of how the auditory system is able to make sense of the complex mixtures of sounds that are encountered in everyday acoustic environments.
Learning Objectives
-Describe the basic auditory attributes of sound.
-Describe the structure and general function of the auditory pathways from the outer ear to the auditory cortex.
-Discuss ways in which we are able to locate sounds in space.
-Describe various acoustic cues that contribute to our ability to perceptually segregate simultaneously arriving sounds.
