potential change in the hair cell. This change in membrane potential is pro-
portional to the direction and degree of displacement of the stereocilia with
respect to the kinocilium. Resulting action potentials of hair cells release
neurotransmitters across synapses to nerve fibers of the cochlear (auditory)
nerve. This information eventually reaches the auditory cortex.
Auditory Sensor Characteristics
Sound can be characterized by its amplitude (loudness) and ...
