Low frequencies cause the whole membrane to vibrate. The cochlea is able to map frequencies onto certain locations on the basilar membrane. The sensation of pitch is a function of the location of the vibration on the the basilar membrane. Auditory nerves and the brain Nerve impulses are transmitted from the ear to the brain via the auditory nerves, one of the several sensory nerves that exists in the group of nerves known as cranial nerves. That is, the neuron itself provides the necessary energy to propel the impulse along the nerve.
Nerve impulses travel over many neurons on their way to the brain.
This gap-like structure communicates by releasing a chemical transmitter substance. Human factors involving the auditory system Virtual reality attempts to offer realistic stimuli for all human senses. The auditory system is no exception. While the human ear is capable of hearing a multitude of distinct sounds, the ear can only concentrate on listening to one particular sound at a given time. Auditory cognition analyzes such issues as attending to auditory events, remembering and recognizing sound sources and events, and perceptions of acoustic sequences.
