Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges long-held theories of sound perception. The author presents evidence, both historical and through their own observations, that the ear does not interpret sound in the manner suggested by 17th-century philosophers and the influential 19th-century physicist Helmholtz. The author asserts that the most pivotal part of the inner ear, the basilar membrane, is not home to the myriad of tiny resonating strings or fibers that Helmholtz imagined, but is instead a synkinetic membrane that vibrates as a whole to each frequency of sound. This groundbreaking work presents a new understanding of the mechanics of hearing and further opens the field to future studies in auditory perception. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333080846_0
