This may be surprising for those who believe that the brain is capable of cognitive operations and that it is the brain who sees or hears. However, if we think that the brain is only a part of the system of hearing, then this result can be predicted. Such an answer, however, is only a repetition of Muller's law of specific nerve energies from the 19th century in a modern form. Muller thought that each nerve contains its own specific energy which makes it understandable why, for example, any stimulation of a visual nerve produces a visual sensation. Nowadays nobody believes in such energies, but in fact this concept has been replaced by the concept of the locus of activation.
Visual sensation appears, because neurons in the visual cortex are activated.
However, the neurons in the different parts of the brain function in a similar way even if there are some anatomical differences in their constitution. Thus, Muller's original problem has still not been adequately answered in cognitive science. According to the present consideration the problem is wrongly formulated. The first condition for this possibility is precisely that I am a human being, that I belong to the human species. All rights reserved.
