The document discusses hearing and taste sensation and perception. For hearing, it explains that sounds under 4000 Hz are coded temporally while higher sounds are coded based on their location along the basilar membrane. The primary auditory cortex processes sound laterally with the left processing sounds from the right ear and vice versa. For taste, it outlines the basic tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty. It notes that different taste buds are uniformly distributed throughout the tongue and throat and that combinations of taste responses in the brain lead to more complex taste perceptions that can be influenced by culture.
5. Up to 4000 hZ: All hairs fire in
sync with the frequency of the
sound (Temporal Coding)
Over 4000 hZ: Different areas
of the Basilar Membrane fire
depending on the frequency of
the sound (Place Coding)
14. Different tastes are NOT located on
different parts of the tongue
All different taste buds are
uniformly distrubuted on the tongue
and in the throat
Just like combinations of colors
create millions more, combinations
of taste bud responses, processed
in the brain lead to…...
